    Although I believe Qualitative is still not zero but 4-6 / 8 ? ie lower detection than the Quantitative ?

    Hey :- )

    Yes, guess I was surprised at <250 test.

    I can only tell you what the current trend is here, (UK)... The quantatitive are much cheaper than the Qualititive so they mainly use that. From what I am told, they are phasing out the Qualititive tests as they consider <12 as the aim. This is the public health authority view , privately after much searching, I found a Qualititive test privately ( <4-6 ) but is was tied in with alot of other tests for Hep A & B , HIV etc and very pricey. All a bit of a hassle and slow for results to come back, so not easy. Others have persuaded their GPs to get one done, but with the current NHS struggles, it's not easy. However, it may be different where you are?

    Worth looking for better Quantatitive or Qualititive privately if your specialist is unforthcoming?

    <250 seems rather vague ?
    My local tests are <12.
    Can you get a more accurate test in a different lab?

    I’ve read somewhere, that it’s strong against RAVs, if I find the article, I will post.
    No doubt real world results should show a truer picture?

    7 am ocean swim

    I am not the jealous type, but with this I’m turning a paler shade of green!
    Summer hasn’t started here … Rain, wind, grey skies rool, worst in years.Something’s gotta change.
    I am looking for air tickets this afternoon! Swimming in a warm sea is just so healing.

    Good to read your positive take on it, thanks Beaches :+1:
    After ” waking and taking ” for over 6 months, it is a little daunting.

    Great photo #love

    Thank-you Cheese (cool moniker yourself, what would we do without you!)

    Not sure about the SG tag ! I have received such kindness from the people connected to this forum and will never forget this, It’s has inspired me and others on here to try to help those in the same boat in small ways. I have always got frustrated about injustice and believe HepC patients have been conveniently discriminated against, especially in England where they want to keep us stigmatised to save money , don’t seem to have the ‘will’ to change things and where patient care for those with this condition is appalingly bad. Things are slowly improving thanks to all involved in the good fight, but we must care for each other in all corners of the world, very few others will..

    I see you are a fellow 1a, wishing you all the very best for your treatment mate, keep us posted and ride on (see your bike pic) :+1:

    ps 2 tomorrow is last day of tx !

    Back to the B12 subject, I stopped taking Vit B12 when I started the 3rd med for the last 4 weeks.
    This was because I have to take Asunprevir twice a day.
    Last bloods 2 weeks ago showed Neuts were low (not very, but slightly and flagged).
    Looked it up and it said this can be due to VitB12 being low, which I had suspected before and why I decided to take extra.

    There were some suspicions I had mal/low absorption, so even though I only have a few days left on the meds, I’d like to know if I can take it for my last few days.

    There is very little advise re Asunprevir, so if anyone knows or can find the answer, it would be great to get the advise for my last few days on the meds, to try and make sure I’m absorbing meds as well as I can, albeit nearing EOT.

    Thanks in advance ;-)

    Hi all,
    OK, So most bloods are in range and Alt is good (13).
    Neuts are a bit low, but not ‘concerning’

    I have stopped my VitB12 since starting the Sunprevir, does anyone know if I can take that with Sofo/Dac /Sunprev?
    I only have 3 days meds left.

    LG
