Hi
I m Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
First you should be Double sure that you are HCV antibody Positive and serum HCV RNA test Positive.
Then The standard treatment according to BHS Guidelines is T. INTERFERON for 6 months (once daily) along with T. DASABUVIR for 6 Months (twice Daily)
Every month you should check your Haemoglobin levels and it should be not less than 13 g/dL.
And I Dont know whether these drugs are covered in your health scheme.
Happy Recovery
