Hi Bill,

As far as I know the best drug for fibrosis reversal is interferon. So, even Harvoni doesn't help in this process. But if you are not cirrhotic there's a chance to do at least F2 when the virus is eradicated. Never F0 and same chances for F1. This verdict comes from my doctor. I had the same question.

Good luck
MM

My diagnosis came back F3 Bridging Fibrosis.  What is the telling me about the condition of my liver and are there chances of reversal of the damage if the HCV is eradicated?
