Major news for those who deal with Hepatitis C

Some major news impacting those with Hepatitis C.

Hepatitis C is a virus that primarily impacts the liver.

Keri McGuire-Trahan is a nurse practitioner at the AIDS Committee of North Bay and area. She they can now treat anyone with a chronic Hep C condition.

“We have a cure that is 97-98 % successful. 1 pill, once a day for 12 weeks. It’s very easy,” she says.

McGuire-Trahan says the news is very exciting.

“Hep C is the only chronic disease we can cure. We can’t cure Diabetes, we can’t cure COPD, we can’t cure Arthritis we can cure Hep C. When I say cure I mean it’s gone,” McGuire-Trahan says.

McGuire-Trahan says this should be well known but it hasn’t been and that’s been disappointing but they’re going to hold several events this month to get the message out.
