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.
The difference between Interferon and Harvoni is simple Interferon kills everything. Harvoni targets ONLY the virus and disables the replication cycle. That's why Interferon has so many side effects and Harvoni has hardly any.
