Yay, that is the best news

Hi Joy2world
I can imagine that is stressful to see. In fact, I know it is as I have seen it happen to lots of people- who did go on to be undetected at 12 weeks SVR, which is the only test that matters.

This test of yours now, like Fitz says, could well be – ismuch more likely to be showing remnants of dead virus in your blood. I did 24 weeks treatment and wasn’t undetected until 18 weeks of it. I kept really wanting to see those words- but I did.
If I was in your shoes, for reassurance at about 6-8 weeks after your last tablet, I’d get a liver function test. That tells much the same story but quickly and cheaply.

Meanwhile, take heart- many before you have cleared after getting this unsettling result, which is really a reflection of the testing capability we have- too sensitive, seeing and counting tiny dead bits and not sensitive enough, to show if it is live or not.

Hi Cherr 1985,

That last waiting is hard
All the waiting is hard come to think of it… for meds, for tests.
What you could do, I have heard of a lot of people do to ease their minds in this 12 weeks wait, is have a liver function test at about 7-8 weeks.
That is cheap and fast and the drugs are out of your system by then so your liver is doing it’s own thing with no help from harvoni. LFT will show how it is doing and should reassure you. No doubt a very few people need to retreat but it is pretty close to 100.1 not to be you.
Congrats on reaching end of treatment

Hi Sherif and welcome

That is a low reading part way through treatment- I did 24 weeks, I wasn’t undetected until 18 weeks on treatment, I still cleared, it is not at all unusual to get your result of . Looks to me, patient not doctor, like you are on track really well.
Taking your meds with some food? Keeping hydrated and feeling ok?

Thanks Dr James, and Mar
