What are the Treatments and Services Available for Hepatitis C?
If you feel you may be at risk for hepatitis C infection, you should contact your doctor. Early diagnosis is important so you can be counseled about how to prevent transmission of HCV to others and you can be checked for liver disease and get treatment, if indicated. The most important thing you can do if you test positive for hepatitis C virus is to contact your doctor about additional tests and treatment. There are two therapies available for the treatment of persons with long-term hepatitis C: interferon and a combination of interferon and ribavirin. You should check with your doctor to see if treatment would help you.
