Diagnosed
With Hepatitis C?
Since 2005 HCV Support has helped provide thousands of people diagnosed
with hepatitis C in receiving the knowledge, support and encouragement
they've needed in managing and treating their HCV. At HCV Support we
supply the educational resources and peer support needed in making
informed healthcare decisions regarding your HCV, and in ultimately
helping you remain adherent in the care of your HCV as prescribe by your
healthcare provider.
Our online support forum is moderated and staffed by an outstanding
group of fellow HCV patients who have dedicated themselves to assisting
those newly diagnosed with hepatitis C, and answering the many questions
they commonly have. Our forum also operates a board exclusively run and
moderated by a nurse practitioner in the field of gastroenterology/hepatology
to answer the more medical or clinical questions related to hepatitis C
and treatment. Our forum is open to visitors to view its several
publicly viewable boards, but requires member registration in order to
post and/or reply within the forum or to access and view our member only
boards. Registration is free and completely anonymous.
Please take the time to visit and read through our site's wealth of
Hepatitis C resources, and view and read through the many postings made
by our members in our online support forum. When you feel comfortable,
we invite you to join our online support family by registering as a
member.
Remember, you are not alone, and we are here to help.
Sincerely,

for HCV SUPPORT
Help HCV Support to continue its mission of supporting those affected by
Hepatitis C through our "ChipIn for HCV Support" fundraiser.
HCV Support Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization made up of dedicated
volunteers and HCV patients themselves with one mission in mind....helping those affected by
hepatitis C. Being an all volunteer organization means 100% of all proceeds HCV
Support receives goes directly to helping those affected by hepatitis C. All funds
are used to secure, maintain and improve upon our online presence, community HCV
awareness & testing initiatives and patient support programs such as our Annual
Hepper's Retreat. The more funds HCV Support receives the more support we are able to provide to
those affected by this disease, and the more we are able to improve upon
community awareness.
