Hep C at 27, 73 years now no symptoms. My Dr. Said I had beaten it and had no reason to go through the cure.

I got hep c through a dirty tattoo needle. I had a slight 2 day sickness and thought it was hep B relapsing. So I got my blood work done and it was hep c .That was when I was 27 I'm 73 now and in good health.About 20 years ago I set up the treatment plan for her c,my Dr called a week later and said I beat it. Anybody else go through this?

  1. Hi . What a huge relief that must have been! It's not common, but it is possible for your body to successful fight off hep C within the first six months. It's called acute or short-term HCV. Here is an article about hep C treatment that discusses cases like yours: https://hepatitisc.net/treatment. If you're ever in doubt though, go ahead and ask to be retested. It might give you peace of mind. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
