Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Hello all,
I am recently new to the group and have learned a lot from everyone who has posted their experiences here and glad I found this site. Thank you for sharing!
I was just diagnosed as an F3 in late November 2012 and have recently been invited to participate in phase III of meds named in subject line.
I have read much about the Ribavirin but found nothing on Faldaprevir. Has anyone here been part of phase I or phase II with these meds?
I only know I am geno type I and will find out today or Monday if I am an a or b, or whatever. I have to be a 1b to participate. It scares me to think of taking 13 pills a day when I used to gag on birth control pills. Lol
I absolutely refuse to take the interferon!
Thanks :)

I am curious where you have access to this trial?
Can you share your Dr. in London's name?
Thanks
