What is Hepatitis C and why does it matter?
Hepatitis C is a virus that affects your liver. Left untreated, it can cause long-term liver damage, cirrhosis, or even liver cancer. Recent research shows that people who use injection drugs or have history of substance use are at higher risk. The good news: modern treatments are highly effective — with cure rates above 95 % in many cases.Screening and early treatment mean you can get ahead of the virus rather than letting it define you.
We recommend testing if you:
Have used or currently use injection drugs or shared needles
Have had long-term alcohol use, or other liver-risk exposures
Received blood products or organ transplants before wider screening (pre-1992)
Have abnormal liver function tests with no known cause
Want peace of mind and to stay proactive about your health
And according to guidelines, routine screening is now recommended for all adults 18 – 79 years at least once.
Our Process
Testing – Simple, clear, confidential
Blood test for HCV antibody – checks whether you’ve ever been exposed.
If positive, we immediately conduct a HCV RNA test to check for active infection (virus still in your blood).
Together, we review results, explain them clearly, and set a treatment plan if needed.
We work with you whether you’re being treated for addiction or receiving primary care — we coordinate with your whole health team.
Treatment – What to expect
Once active infection is confirmed, we’ll discuss medication options — modern direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) make treatment shorter, simpler, and far more tolerable than older regimens.
The typical treatment time for many patients is 8 – 12 weeks, depending on your individual situation.
During treatment, we monitor your progress with labs and check-ins to make sure you’re responding well.
After treatment completes, we test again to confirm sustained virologic response (SVR) — meaning the virus is no longer detectable and you’re effectively cured.
Even if you’re in recovery for addiction, rest assured: protocol works in those settings, and we’re experienced in co-managing both.
