Deciding whether or not start hep C treatment is definitely a personal decision -- it's one you'll need to make with your doc, depending on where things are with your health.

Have a look at our Hep "lesson" pages pertaining to HCV treatment. They pretty much review all the usual scenarios and explain where the new HCV protease inhibitors, including Victrelis, fit into the picture.
