Hi Nick,

Don't panic. Unless you also have active Hep B it would be really unusual to run into issues below the age of 40.

It is a very anxious time waiting for details about tests and access but remember - even though you now know you have the virus, you have had it for a while already and you're still here...

You are touching on one of the bad things about know you have hep C - the mental part. For many patients, one of the many benefits of treatment is knowing the virus is gone.

YMMV
