No. If a person treated for hep C has an undetectable viral load 6 months after completing the treatment they are considered "cured." (technically called a sustained virological response) There should be no risk of transmission from this person. However, it's always a good idea to protect yourself from risks anyway (no sharing of needles or equipment, razors, toothbrushes, etc.).

The Pegylated interferon treats chronic hepatitis. Pegylated interferon, usually called peginterferon, is chemically modified from the standard interferon that treats hepatitis C and B.
ocular complications of the treatment of interferon
Interferon therapy is used to treat a variety of diseases. The most common are multiple sclerosis, cancer, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Interferon therapy causes immunosuppression.
Synthetic interferonsynthetic interferon
Yes
Hepatitis C is commonly treated with weekly injections of pegylated interferon alfa and a capsule of Ribavirin given twice daily. Interferon injections boost the immune system to attack liver cells infected with the hepatitis C virus and also inhibits viral replication. Ribavirin capsules inhibit the replication and infectivity of the hepatitis C virus.The treatment for Hepatitis C typically lasts 24-48 weeks. Hepatitis C is curable in more than 50% of patients, but a various number of factors influence the likelihood of a patient responding to treatment. Those factors are: strain of virus, gender, weight, viral load, age, and the extent of scarring in the liver.
Synthetic Interferon
Infection with the virus that causes hepatitis C is hindered by interferon via the binding to a site on human cells that is also used by the virus. Thus, the virus cannot enter and infect the host cell
No, hepatitis C it often permanent and in cases where it is cured medically it takes a long time
I think yes. I say so because I am currently conducting research on interferon induced arthritis and our data indicates that interferon(treatment for hepatitis C ) can actually cause arthritis.

This is really unbelievable, I just got tested negative to HEPATITIS B after a long time of suffering. I experienced dark urine and ribs pain and then I went to the hospital for treatment and I was told its hepatitis b that it has no cure, although I was given some drugs to slowdown the viral load but it later got worse hence my body was getting weaker. My friend helped me locate Dr. Iyabiye while looking for possible solution online. I contacted him and the pains gone after taken his medicine, I went back to the hospital for a test and I was tested negative. This is real wonderful, here is the Dr. contact: iyabiyehealinghome @ gmail . com phone +234-815-857-7300
