Of course, HCV needs to be diagnosed before HCV treatment and prevention of transmission can even be attempted. And yet, more than half of those infected are even aware of their infection. In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expanded its HCV testing guidelines to include a one-time HCV test to all people born between 1945 and 1965 to address this issue. In addition, studies have estimated that there will be an increase in the number of patients experiencing HCV-related complications (e.g., cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma) in the next few decades as the population ages. Furthermore, given the novelty of DAA therapy, the risk of disease progression and HCC development following DAA-mediated sustained virologic response (SVR) is unclear. It is thought that ~40% of patients with decompensated cirrhosis still develop liver failure after achieving SVR.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
