If my viral load is not UND at 6 weeks, half treatment...
Maybe it is recommended to prolonged the treatment with 4 weeks, with a total of 16 weeks?
I don't know, I am a little bit disappointed. :unsure:
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks! :)

I know from
fixhepc.com/forum/viral-load-and-svr/287...ct.html?limitstart=0
that after 8 weeks I have a big chance of UND.
But if not, maybe I must continue the treatment more then 12 weeks.
So I have to arrange to buy the medication as soon as possible.
Dr. James please consider my question if you have some little time. :dry:
Thank you so much! :)

If it cost low, make one at 6 week at another Lab. Delaying the viral load for 2 weeks I suspect it. To be detected at 4 weeks is normal but 83 I have not heard.....

Hi Enkel,
Thanks! Good idea to test at another lab! B)
But at this one I have 50% discount.
Maybe I will try another lab at 8 weeks! :lol:

Hi isaing4 Thankyou for your really great data in your blog and your questions they are very helpful to many people incl myself here on only Day 8. I know of a few people who have done all extra six weeks
I also hear that some are still detected at 4 weeks but clear later on
It seems that the aim of achieving an SVR isn't tightly linked to the four weeks result to my thinking
Wishing us all our SVR hang in there all

Hi Isaing - Do I read correctly that your VL came down from 9 million?
(Can't see your Profile while typing this on small device, so much more tricky keeping up since big comp. out of action)
If so, that may explain your result somewhat?
it would have come down quite alot!
Agree with Ariel over this, I've even read some people have been detected at EOT only to clear and know of someone personally who was 15 at EOT and went on to clear, so it could well be worth checking at another lab in 2 weeks.
Agree also, be prepared,just in case, but that's a magnificent drop really, 9 mil to 83 .
Wishing you all the very best for success and get those Bs & Ds down you :-) #love

Thanks Ariel the mermaid, like your name :)
Thanks LondonGirl, good choice also for your name, remind me of being spontaneous and young :)
It is a big drop from 9.000.000 to 83 in 4 weeks. Those bastards were so many and they were feeling so good inside my liver/body.
I was a polite host, but not anymore! :evil:
Generally, I think positive and I am an optimistic. B)
Happy with my progress toward regaining my health! :cheer:
All the best and UND soon to everyone of you!

Heh you are right, isaing! The bastards were indeed many - and most have been decimated now, only the more persistent stragglers left

As LG says, you can have detectable levels at EOT and still go on to achieve SVR, so I wouldn't be worrying at 4 weeks. Easy to say I know, when you read of others getting UND by that time. But there's still a long way to go :)

We are in the same boat, Isaing. I also had a 9 million v/l and have not reached undetected at the 4 week test. Still waiting on the v/l results.

Hopefully it will not take much longer for us both. At 83 you are getting close! :)

When they did my test they did not ask for viral load, only detected/undetected. After the test came back detected the nurse requested the sample to be re-tested for viral load.

The qualitative test (detected/undetected) is cheaper, it is done locally and is fairly quick. The viral load (quantitative) is more expensive and has to be sent to another state and can take 1-2 weeks.

You are 1b F0-1 and treatment naive. That gives you a 99% chance of SVR with 12 weeks Sof/Led:

ION-1 100% (67/67) ION-3 98% (43/44) Aggregate 99.1% (110/111)

Not bad odds.

To reassure you here are some real results from a patient of mine...

Week 0 7.8 million
Week 2 598
Week 4 76
Week 5.5 < 15
Week 8 0
Week 12 0
SVR 4 0
SVR 12 0

Lots of testing because she was a doctor and one of my first patients. 5.5 weeks because she went on a cruise!

Personally if I wanted an insurance blanket I would add some Simeprevir rather than treat for longer. The odds are on your side and you are chasing the last 1-2%.
