Depends on definition of cure. This is a contraversial topic. The prevailing opinion seems to be that, for all intents and purposes, SVR is a cure. It is still debated whether traces of the virus can still be detected with sensitive enough tests. SRV patients have been tracked for many years and the relapse/reinfection rate is statistically so low as not to be a serious factor. That is my understanding anyway. Please correct me if I am wrong (someone).
