Hi X-Hamster-Google, The treatments people access here mostly cost in the region of US$1,000 for a 12 week treatment. Most important though is to know which of the many treatments to use. In case you do not know this already, you need to determine which are the right drugs for your friends to use through knowing the genotype, fibrosis score (or estimate that through proxy blood tests), renal function, HIV status, and other pre existing medical conditions.
I have had type2 HVC, for which Twinvir is not a cure, so I sought a different treatment through the Redemption trials available on this site.
In other words, Twinvir can be excellent, but it does not meet every person's needs.
Best of luck, Mnem
