Science has not had this kind of upset since the Boson partial. Advances in Hep-c treatment and HIV are due in part to the use of super computers like the famous KARKEN to model a single three dimensional virus core and mapping it.

So I told him that wouldn't it be a...

Got the call today to start meds next Thursday on the Merck 5172/8742 combo. Its a 12 week, 1 pill day, double blinded placebo trial. Of course I'm hoping I'm in the 75% not on placebo, but even if I'm not, I still get the real thing after 18 weeks. Excited to finally have a hope of being free of this crap....
