Fantastic!! On the home run now Sven
Wishing you a good EOT and UND to SVR for you
Looking forward to your posts keep us updated on your good news
Happies to you from Ariel
Hey Sven
Best wishes for EOT. Not long now. It’s such a waiting game but everything is reading really ‘like’ awesome. 
Let us know!
Here are the 8 week labs. <15 and said he is very encouraged! ( glucose tested is non fasting so a bit high)
Since I sent his nurse the trials information my Doctor has changed his tone, in fact this is the first time I have recieved a phone call 1 day after testing.
I'm am very happy I must say.
In good health my friends.
Hey Sven
If your VL is <15 that means it's unquantifiable which means there is some virus there but the amounts are too small to count. Call me Captain Obvious
This is Good News especially if your liver functions are normal, which they are.
Why did he say UND? I don't know. Maybe he is anticipating the EOT result. You are on track my brother.
Hi Sven,
15 iu/ml is the limit that the quantitative test assay the lab used can accurately record rather than necessarily being your result. The printout you have shown us looks like the report from your doctor’s surgery which sometimes only reports the <15 number rather than the full lab report indicating detected or undetected. So he is the best person to ask which it is.
There are quite a few posts on the subject in the below section of the forum.

Hi m and Sven,
Qualitative tests just give a Detected or Undetected result. On the other hand Sven’s result is definitely quantitative as his report states it as <15. But if it is in the <15 range but detected then it would usually include a statement to that effect per the quote from the Cobas Taqman V2 assay instructions below or alternatively it will state that it is undetected.
Results less than the quantitative range of the assay will be reported
as “HCV RNA detected, less than 15 IU/mL”.Sven’s result only gives <15 without also stating whether detected or undetected so is ambiguous but as Fitz says, Sven's doctor will be able to clarify the correct answer in more detail.

Twice I asked, twice they said undetected . I find it strange, but he said if it was detected it would say <15iu detected. I asked why it doesn't say undetected and he said, isn't that obvious. The conversation was very short, but as cordial as I could be after all the delays. Hey maybe Tim was right....he could have been busy for 3 weeks.
Thank you all, I am very grateful to be defined undetected as less than 3 months ago there was no hope of me getting any medication and my viral load was in the millions!
In good health my friends
Over the last 11 months I’ve noticed there really doesn’t seem much consistency in the way different labs and doctors report these results.
But being told “undetected” twice by the doctor is the real deal. Happy for you Sven!
Happy for you Sven!
