Anyone need real information regarding HCV

This is a must watch video clip if you have any doubts about being treated.  The speaker is Dr Douglas Dieterich of Mt Sinai
He is the study doctor for clinical Albuferon studies.  I am on 1200mg of albuferon, plus 1200mg of Riba.

I don't see that much written about this drug on this website. Maybe because it doesn't appear to be magic bullet, but it will probably be a significant alternative to regular interferon.

The side effects are more moderatate than interferon

Very good link, thanks.
Should we refer this link for newcomers..?

It really has all answers whether treat or not(I liked when you should not treat options), biopsy or not, what probability that a donor will be available, interferon might exist for another 10 years as a main treatment drug, etc
