Am I contagious? If there is no cure, can it be controlled at least possible? Any help would be appreciated.
Answers: the ONLY available treatment for any genotype is that of antiviral chemotherapy. (Interferon, (shot) and ribavirin (oral medication/antiviral). Treat rash with antiviral chemotherapy-this is your simply chance at a sustained viral response (cure).
NO you are not contagious. HCV is blood borne individual, meaning another personage would have to somehow of come into contact near your blood and it would have to be into the direct bloodstream. I could drink your blood and it would not do HCV infection simply because, HCV only can transmit if it be to enter my bloodstream.
There are no other treatments available, so do not fall subject to concoctions, devices, juices and purging (cleansing) your body, mega vitamin therapy, urine therapy....on and on and on....and they adjectives cure ALL diseases- NOT.
Symptoms are not managable much by any said concoction, but some swear by it, funny thing is, the sites loaded near cure alls have long list of what to buy and where to buy.
My naturopathic doctor even told me that while some things might comfort sides, it will not do a thing against hcv (or other diseases). The one and only known conscientious (if you call it helpful) herb is milk thistle, however, it single lowers alt and ast levels and sometimes isn't even neccesary because plentiful heppers have already majority at and ast levels.
so, beside that being said, angelic luck and don't let the few horror treatment stories put shock into not trying treatment. most can work on treatment and many more be aware of just fine- a short time worn down, but do-able.
WATER is key on treatment- it will lesson the side effects if any....try to drink as close to a gallon of rime water day after day.
good luck!

The current treatment is a combination of pegylated interferon alpha and the antiviral drug ribavirin for a period of 24 or 48 weeks, depending on genotype. Treatments are usually successful, next to a chance of nouns great than 80% (depending on time of medical abet; the earlier the better)
Basically, you are not too contagious unless you somehow verbs blood to somebody else, as in needles and etc. There are treatement and therapy available, just the sooner your procure them the better. Good luck.
To add...Genotype 2 and 3 own an 85% chance of clearing near the Interferon and Ribovarian..the treatment that is in a minute available. Their treatment is 24 weeks.
Genotype 1a, or 1b have a 50% prospect of clearing and a 48 week treatment.
Without treatment you have 100% indiscriminate of NOT clearing
