Please do your research on treatment of Hepatitis C. We CAN eradicate the virus, although it is generally a lengthy and unpleasent experience, as well as very costly. Depending on the genotype of the virus, (among other factors), some will respond to treatment better that others. The odds aren’t the best for a “cure”, but we are managing to rid the virus in approximatly 50% of patients treated. If only Hepatitis C recieved the attention AIDS does, we may be further along in developing a vaccine, as well as more effective treatment options.
