    Thanks for your post. I am sorry to hear about your friend. It sounds like you are concerned and would like to help. While I feel that community members will be able to provide you with more specific answers, I thought you would find the following articles helpful - https://hepatitisc.net/treatment/, https://hepatitisc.net/diagnosis/genotype/. They provide a general overview of HCV treatments and the specific genotypes. Also, we always suggest discussing specific treatment options with your doctor in order to obtain the best treatment. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to reach out. We love hearing from you and are happy you are a part of our community. Wishing you all the best.

    1. Hi Meaghan,

      I just found this website and these forums and thought I would make contact on several to see if any are currently/recently active and interactive.

      I have genotype 2B, found out in October and started on Epclusa at the beginning of
      December. It is the medication of choice I have been told for Genotype 2. My one month labs showed a marked drop in Liver Functions and nonreactive after 30 days of taking the medication. 😀

      Thanks,
