For more than 15 years Howard struggled with chronic hepatitis C. In 2016 he went on a course of two tablets a day for 12 weeks... and got his life back.

Howard was one of 60,000 people in Australia who went on new antiviral drugs which were  made available on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in March 2016. He was cured of the chronic disease which had dogged him for more than 15 years and now lives life to the full.

In a recent interview with The Advertiser to promote the national TEST CURE LIVE campaign, Howard shared his story in this video.
