Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
See, chronicity is the Hallmark of Hepatitis C infection. It is not possible to eradicate it completely from the body.
What we can at max achieve is treating like this that viral loads are undetectable.
So, give me complete details of yours, including the initial HCV RNA Load, Genotype and also the treatment you have taken till now.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me and answer these questions preferably in point wise manner.
Stay Healthy.
