Hey guys,
I'm a filmmaker from Brazil, and my mother has Hep C. After a long time, we brought the full treatment(sofosbuvir, daclatasvir and ribavirin) from India.
Prices here are equal to US, roughly U$80k.
What led me to make this documentary was the saying from my mom's doctor: "I'll give you some anti-nausea pills. Whatever you do don't puke, because that vomit is worth 1.000 dollars".
This has struck with me, and I want to tell the story of this seemingly miracle drug that sells for and unimaginable price. I want to understand if the costs of developing the drug truly justify it's price ..read more

Hello everyone,
I was recently diagnosed and have now followed up with a GE and set up a treatment plan for myself. I have genotype-2 and will be taking Epclusa. I found out that Epclusa's manufacturer has coupons available that will help cover part (if not all) of the co-pay for the drug. For more information take a look here:

Similar programs are available for some of the other drugs. Another user (tiamdi) who provided me with the above link also provided these:

As part of a project I have to think of all the ways in which having hepatitis C can change one's life (even the small daily changes). Though I have tried to find more information online, I also thought "why not ask those who are personally affected by it?"
So, Reddit, how has having hepatitis C changed your life?

Hi Guys I have had it (HepC) for 35 years without knowing although the last 10 years I have been struggling with massive bouts of fatigue & brain fog. I kept going to the doc's but they could find nothing wrong with me, I changed doctors 2 years ago and they did loads of bloods & came back to tell me I had HepC, Geno type 1A I have been treated with Harvoni but was only given an 8 week course and relapsed & now the virus is back. They are now refusing to re-treat me which has pissed me off as I feel only giving me 8 weeks may have been the reason I relapsed they half admit it when ..read more

Used to do security and my partner was this dirty old guy who was just about to retire. He smoked in the office and pissed outside the connex all night hoping no one would walk by in plain sight. One day before work i was reinstalling my subwoofers and cut the ends of the speaker wire to go back in the box and cut my thumb open deep with the sharp ass knife. Turns out the guy contracted hep c in the army back in the day i guess from all the vaccines they gave straight one person to the next. Had surgery to have his stomach drained because water retention and was leaking all over the fuckin' p ..read more
