HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorHepatitis C the, the virus (more precisely said the particle and not the exact virus itself) of this infection remains inside the body for longer period of time some time the whole life, but that does not show any sign or symptoms, body immune system taking good care of these particles, Interferon some time does not give satisfactory result more over in case of Hepatitis c the role of Interferon is controversial, in short you need not worry every thing will be key, Have nice day.
