Hi Sir,
Great news! There is little, very little, to get rid of all viruses!
And for me, as for you, the treatment is easy!
Good luck! :lol:

I had expected to be Undetected when I had those bloods taken I was kind a looking
at the results everyone else was coming back with.

The nurse mentioned something I was not aware of I've read the research since it pertains
to viral loads mean during treatment.

Firstly, the test only detects above 0-15,if you test undetected at 2/4/6 it simply means it can't detect
the virus I thought it meant you're cured.

I'm mentioning it as I was unaware that early blood tests can go back and forth between positive
and negative at 4 weeks you can be UD whilst at 6 weeks you're positive then at week
12 you are Undetected.

There is smaller group who have at EOT being positive three months post treatment they
are Undetected and remained so afterwards.

My point is as follows thus far I have seen no discussion at all about viral load tests and what early
testing means.

Good points there Sir. Its definitely heartening if you see results early, but that has to be tempered by the knowledge that nothing is certain (or as certain at it can be!) until SVR12. And yes some people are still showing detectable levels at EOT but go on to UND status down the track.

Just assures you its working to get good results straight off the bat, I'm sure I will feel the same when I finally get started.

So. Drum roll please.

My bloods at 10 weeks came back I am now Undetected not sure when it happened between last bloods taken at
week 6.

As it was so late I'm being advised to continue for another 12 weeks I am relieved.

Sirchinenge,

24 IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN 12. But you know that even with 12 weeks treatment you have a very high cure rate despite being UND at week 10.
