N=92 patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will be enrolled into a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial to further investigate glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB), a direct acting antiviral (DAA) that has been associated with PTSD symptom improvement when prescribed for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C viral infection (HCV). The research is intended to test the efficacy of GLE/PIB for PTSD symptom improvement in the absence of HCV.~Primary Aims:~Aim 1: Determine the efficacy of GLE/PIB for PTSD symptom improvement. Aim 2: Determine the efficacy of GLE/PIB for functioning improvement among patients with PTSD.~Aim 3: Assess the safety and tolerability of GLE/PIB treatment for patients with PTSD in the absence of HCV.
