Hi welcome to HCM....

After infection with hepatitis c infection, chance of getting Chronic infection is very high....
There is no particular antidote for hepatitis c ...if antiglobulin like antibody given at the time of exposure within 72 hour then it might help , otherwise it is your immunity that play role in clearing infection...

Now six month had gone ...
So to confirm its negativity perform ELISA or PCR like molecular method.....
If it comes positive then regular follow up to gastroenterologist done....

Meanwhile avoid alcohol drinking and take low fat diet....

Take care.
