A non-reactive test result is excellent news?it means you do not currently have a Hepatitis C infection, so no treatment is necessary. If someone does test positive for the virus, highly effective oral medications called Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) are used to cure the infection. Common generic combinations include sofosbuvir/velpatasvir or glecaprevir/pibrentasvir. These modern treatments are taken daily for 8 to 12 weeks, have very mild side effects, and have a cure rate of over 95%. Since your test is non-reactive, you are clear and do not require any therapy.
