Suggest Treatment For Chronic HCV

Have had HCV since a young doctor walked into my operating room from a dirty one without scrubbing. That was in 1964. I moved, married, etc, couldn t be located, and ended up making the call myself to find out if I had a problem. Have not needed to care for it for years, but now I need to find out if these new drugs really do work, what they are and do, and what new blood tests are required of someone who has this chronic condition.
