Jules: My name is Jules. When I found out that I had hepatitis C, it was very shocking. That’s all I can remember.

TEXT ON-SCREEN: JULES CURED* WITH MAVYRET

*Cure means no hep C virus found in the blood 3 months after treatment ends.

Jules: I lived positive with hepatitis C for 30 years, and MAVYRET changed my life.

Jules: I’m very proud to say that I am a transgender woman. I thought for my whole entire life that I had this dirty little secret. So, I lived trapped. And I lived not liking myself.

Jules: I started using alcohol as a numbing agent. There was points where I didn’t care if I lived. I was very alone, and beaten up, and broken.

Jules: It wasn’t until the ripe age of 47, I just said I’m either going to die or I’m going to get sober.

Jules: After I had one year of recovery in, that’s when I was told about MAVYRET. It made me feel like I have a chance to get cured of hepatitis C. They had a daily regimen that you could follow, which was so easy.

TEXT ON-SCREEN: MAVYRET is taken as 3 pills at one time each day with food.

Jules: After a couple of months, I was told by the nurse that worked with the doctor that I was cured of hepatitis C.

Jules: And I’m like, oh my god, are you kidding me? She goes, “You’ve taken the medicine. It’s done its job. You are hepatitis C free.” I’ll never forget those words.

Jules: And I’m just thinking, oh my god, all of this is finally over. I was so elated to finally get over that hump. It’s a sense of freedom. It was the final thing that I needed to resolve to move on.

Jules: What I would tell somebody that’s been recently diagnosed with hepatitis C is talk to your doctor and ask about MAVYRET. It worked for me.

TEXT ON-SCREEN: Individual results may vary.

Jules: I’ve gone through a lot of obstacles and barriers in my life. Hepatitis C and what I’ve lived through in my life has completely changed my way of thinking and the way I look at life and the way that I treat people. With all the stigma, with all the judgment out there, I recover out loud. And, you know, and there’s no shame, you know, whatsoever. No shame at all.

Jules: If I can help someone by my truth, then I’m all about it.

Jules: My name is Jules and I crushed my hepatitis C with MAVYRET.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

  • Hepatitis B virus (hep B) reactivation: Before starting treatment with MAVYRET, your doctor will do blood tests to check for hep B infection. If you have ever had hep B infection, hep B could become active again during or after treatment for hep C with MAVYRET. Hep B that becomes active again (called reactivation) may cause serious liver problems, including liver failure and death. Your doctor will monitor you if you are at risk for hep B reactivation during treatment and after you stop taking MAVYRET.
  • Do not take MAVYRET if you have certain liver problems or if you are taking the medicines atazanavir or rifampin.
  • In people who had or have advanced liver problems before starting treatment with MAVYRET, there is a rare risk of worsening liver problems, liver failure, and death. Your doctor will check you for signs and symptoms of worsening liver problems during treatment with MAVYRET. Tell your doctor right away if you have any of the following: nausea; tiredness; yellowing of your skin or white part of your eyes; bleeding or bruising more easily than normal; confusion; dark, black, or bloody stool; loss of appetite; diarrhea; dark or brown (tea-colored) urine; swelling or pain on the upper right side of your stomach area (abdomen); sleepiness; vomiting of blood; or lightheadedness.
  • There are some medicines that you should not take with MAVYRET. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. MAVYRET and other medicines may affect each other. This can cause you to have too much or not enough MAVYRET or other medicines in your body. This may affect the way MAVYRET or your other medicines work or may cause side effects. Do not start a new medicine without telling your doctor.
