Of course, even making and taking this drug you manufacture is illegal

This is not true.

In the United States GENERALLY SPEAKING you can manufacture any substance that is not on the list of controlled substances on the CSA Schedule.

You cannot sell it or administer it to others.

Also IN GENERAL you can consume any substance that is not illegal to possess or manufacture.

In the non-pharmaceutical realm there are a few additional restrictions, like ethanol (which you can manufacture for industrial use but not human consumption) and various nuclear, biological, and chemical munition components. (Don't know how many people are ingesting those)

If you have the ability, you can manufacture your own sofosbuvir and ingest it.

You cannot sell or give it to anyone else.
