My insurance wants me to wait 3 months I’m afraid if I don’t get help now it’ll be to late if it isn’t now I’ve had hep c for a very long time only thing is I can’t afford it myself I currently am out of work due to other health issuses

How long do you think you may have had hep c? Do you know if you have any liver damage? Do you know why they want a three month wait? Do you know your genotype?

If you were recently infected they maybe waiting to see if your body beats hep c on its own. About 25% of people with hep c are able to do so and won’t need treatment. This usually happens in the first 6 months of infection.

Hep c is a very slow acting virus taking in general decades to cause significant liver damage.

I had hep c for 37 years before I was cured I was diagnosed with cirrhosis after being infected for 30 years.

While I understand your desire to be treated as soon as possible three months really won’t make any difference in your liver health.

Wishing you the best of luck.
