If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with hepatitis C, this book provides an indispensable and comprehensive overview of everything you need to know to take the right steps toward a cure. For the nearly 160 million people worldwide and 4 million Americans diagnosed with hepatitis C, there is now hope.
