I am a hepatitis c patient who completed the medication course in October 2022. I was treated with velpatasvir and sofosbuvir ARVs. Thank you for such an informative and encouraging video.

I believe I got hepatitis in the Army by having dental work in the Army back around 1970. I was diagnosed right after I got out of the Army. I took the Freon injections and was not cured around 2008 So I got a second opinion and that doctor said come back in 10 years. Well now it’s 2023 and iam half way though a another treatment using EPCLUSA pills. I recommend that every get checked and take appropriate action. Peace & love

I got hep c from the air guns in bootcamp also 1964 I still have not had any symptoms and have not had any treatment. I know two people my age who have had the so called cure and now have very low energy since the end of their treatment 6 years ago. At 77 years of age and not much more to live for, and especially the way this country is going to hell in a hand basket I'm going to pass on the cure!
