My dental infection was a bacterial infection and I think that contributed to the slight increase in my ALT and AST in my last blood work. Sounds like you have a lot going on including your exercise routine. I am confident that your results will be good. I know it is hard but try and relax. Hopefully you will not have to wait long for your results. Remember that Genotype 4 is very sensitive to DDA’s.

Hello Kaju,

I’m very pleased to hear your news. You must be feeling really good about it. Perhaps you could afford to relax a bit now? I say this because you mention that you’re looking forward to the next set of results but if your viral load is undetectable at 24 weeks it is almost completely certain that you are fixed. Dr James could give you the statistics which support what I am saying.

With all best wishes for a healthy 2019,

At SVR24 we are 99.99% certain there will be no relapse. The 1:10,000 who do relapse are suspected to be reinfections, rather than true late relapse cases.

This makes sense when you think about it. The incubation period for Hep C is 14-180 days. It only takes 1 week for the drugs to wash out of your body (1/128 level) which is below the therapeutic level. By 2 weeks there is only 1/16,348 the level on treatment. So after this time the virus (if there was any left) has, by SVR24 had a full 22 weeks to grow back unimpeded by the effect of the drugs.

It’s logical that if it has not grown back by this stage then the reason is there was nothing left to grow back.

YMMV

Hi Kaju,

Please let me add my congratulations.

I know what you mean about it being a bit like magic when you have carried the burden of Hep C for years and then it is gone…..

Spreading the word is a great way for us all to pay our good fortune forward. Best wishes for 2019 and onward.

Hi Guys,
Few days ago I received my last hcv rna result and after 1 year still UNDEDECTED.

I am very happy for share this with you guys

If anybody experince with hepatit b booster shot could you please help me abut my concerns.

I decided to get booster shot for hepatit B .

I already got my second dose.

Normall procedure is ; total 3 dose. 1 month, 2dn month and 6th month

But doctor told me they want to give me last dose on 7th month. They think it will be more succesfull.
Also I am wondering is it not possible to got hepatitb from booster shot right? After hepatit c I become paranoid.

Again, thank you very much to everybody to support me in my journey. Thank you guys.
Cheers.

Hello kaju,

Congratulations on your SVR52.

It will not matter if you have 3rd dose for Hep B at 5,6 or 7 months.
