Hi Everyone

Back in the day of IFN and Riba combo, if you were a geno 1 you were considered ‘hard to treat’. If you were diagnosed a geno 2 or 3 you counted your blessings as you had a cure rate of 70 to 80% clearance rate. The poor old geno 1s were given at best a 50/50 chance of clearance and that we probably overblown data from the pharmas. With the new DAAs this thinking has changed and it is in fact geno 3 which can (if untreated) potentially cause the most damage. Check out the blog: Em
