The Facts on HCV Spontaneous Clearance

Many people are surprised to hear that some people do clear (are cured of) HCV,
without treatment. It is true and they call is Spontaneous Clearance of
Hepatitis C. In fact, research indicates that approximately 25% of adults
infected with Hepatitis C spontaneously clear the virus without treatment
(though different studies have found rates ranging from about 10% to 50%).
Spontaneous clearance rates tend to be higher among women than men (40% vs 19%
in the recent meta-analysis). Clearance, if it occurs, usually happens within 4
months, but may take up to 18 months, or possibly even longer according to
