I think that should be your homework.  You go reading through posts on the forum and Google information on the internet and then come back and tell us what you found out.  You at least have to put out a little bit of effort to find this information out for yourself instead of expecting everyone else to do all your thinking and reading for you.

If treatment made the liver more damaged and made the viral load go higher, who would even consider doing it? Not me, that's for sure!

At the risk of helping you cheat on your homework (lol!) I offer some resources in addition to this forum:

www.hcvadvocate.org
A good place for basic information from very simple to more advanced. Lots of fact sheets. Lots of self-help material.

www.medscape.com
For medical articles, study abstracts, and other information. This is given on a level that is sometimes over the head of laypersons without medical or science training.

I, for one, would love to hear what you find. You will probably learn a lot more than what you set out to find, in any case.
