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.

BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Decision Resources Group finds that, for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, 40 percent of surveyed HCV treating specialists expect to prescribe Gilead's investigational fixed-dose combination of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir in the next six months to their genotype 1 patients. Analysis of surveyed specialists' near-term prescribing intent indicates that nearly one in every four actively treated genotype 1 patients will be prescribed the sofosbuvir/ledipasvir regimen in the next six months. However, the on-treatment patient shares for the off-label Olysio (Janssen) and Sovaldi combination regimen are expected to remain stable over this period.
Now I know how to spell ledipavir, and I am encouraging my friends on here, and other members, to PUSH for this regimen ASAP, please take allthe steops to line this Tx up....okay, I love you all!
