More from New Zealand- it is not over here yet, ironic that Tina and I live where there is the most clinical resistance in NZ.

Thanks for posting Hazel! Tina - you're so awesome for coming straight out and telling the rest of the world that ANYONE can contract Hep C.
This is a message we need to get out to the world.

It's so incredibly simple. The best way prevent new infections, is to treat Hep C among those currently infected.

2 Week Results 20 June, 2016 AST 19, ALT 32
4 Week Results 06 July, 2016 AST 22, ALT 30, VL = 35
6 Week Results 20, July 2016 VL only = HCV RNA Detected, Non-Quantifiable <15
8 Week Results 04 August 2016, Labs, LFTs Normal, VL = UND
12 Week Results 31 August, 2016 LFTs Normal, VL = UND
EOT + 4 Weeks, LFTs Normal, VL = UND, "SVR4"

The other key component to eradicating HCV is screening.
