Моя история не будет длинной и расскажет о моём опыте лечения и жизни с ВИЧ и вирусным гепатитом С.

My story I guess starts like a lot of folks with Hep C ….I was turned down for treatment. This is a virus I have been actively fighting since 1993 when I found out that I had it. I know when and how I contracted this. The when was 1971 the how at the time […]
Hi! My name is Coral and I live in Queensland, Australia. Like many baby boomers, I carried the Hepatitis C virus (Genotype 1a) for years before diagnosis in the late 1980s. It is likely that I contracted the virus while working in a hospital in my early 20s but who knows? I spent decades in […]

I was amongst the first Australians to use “FixhepC” supplied generic drugs to cure my HCV. I am one of the many success stories of generic […]
