    @splitdog

    A couple of years ago I got a Hep A vaccine. I believe that is imperative. It is so easy to contract and is fairly prevalent. But Hep B? I would think you would only need that if you were planning on engaging in some type of risky behavior. No?

    The way I understand it, ‘Quantitative’ testing determines the actual number per ml of bloodborne virus. However, it is only accurate between 12 and 10,000,000. The ‘Qualitative’ testing is far more accurate, but can only determine present/not present. So you use quantitative to see how you’re doing until <12, then do qualitative to see if it goes all the way down to undetected. (zero). Dr. Freeman?

    So, to recap;
    1. You should have a complete liver function test and RNA Quantitative just before beginning treatment.
    2. You should have a complete liver function test and RNA Quantitative at around 2-4 weeks.
    3. Then just an RNA Qualitative at say, EOT.
    4. Then an RNA Qualitative at 12 weeks after EOT.
    5. Then one more just to be sure at 24 weeks.
    Is this right?

    I have no idea. It is probably used in making the product. Being an alcohol, it probably just wasn’t dried out quite all the way.
    I just ordered that from them today. :)
