Hello @doc3rob, I moved your discussion and combined it with the existing discussion titled, 'After hep c treatment.' I moved it to this new location so that your post would be seen by all of the Connect members currently discussing hep c. If you don't mind sharing more while we wait for the other members to share their experiences with you, could you tell us what your provider said about waiting to see if you clear it on your own? Is this something unique to acute rather than chronic?

I seroconverted from a needle stick. My Hep C came back positive in late Oct. and the stick was mid July. My viral load? Is 50,300,000. I have looked into different therapies but there are only studies in regard to DAA’s for treatments for acute Hep C with promising results. Interferon would be a choice, but reviewing the side effects, I am not leaning that way. I think it would be better to start treatment early with the understanding that it may take longer to be “cured”. I do not like the odds of 15-25% people clear Hep C at or around 3-6 months. Damage to the liver is done.
