Hi Pauldavid,

My understanding is that while we all seem to be a bit different there doesn’t seem to be much correlation in the level of symptoms and damage between genotypes with the exception that genotype 3 is thought to be more aggressive in how quickly it impacts as well as more difficult to treat.
Raised liver functions indicate damage occurring so if yours are okay then at very least you are stable but many patients are finding that their fibrosis/cirrhosis scores have improved post treatment so I expect after three years there is a very good chance you will have too despite not being able to test it.

Sadly, I hear you on the ignorance and stigma, though it does appear to be very slowly improving.
