I am going for 48 weeks because of a VL of 2 at 4 weeks. It will be worth it to be free of the virus! 4weeks to go!!

For you to drop from a VL of 200,000  to VL of 31 in 4 weeks is more than a 2log drop. You are on the way to becoming a EVR (Early Virological Response) so that is great news. If undet. at week 8 you are an (EVR) and have a better chance of SVR. Ask your Lab. what the lower limit of detection is. Labs vary, mine is 15 copies/ml. In the US labs. can go as low as 5 copies/ml. So, good news!

thanks Alan for your reply!! at least i have some pespective about it..i was a litle disapointed thinking that i would be UND with this new med.well i wait until week 12! i have heard that in some countrys a VL lower than 100 its considered UND!! so i guess 31 virus copys its pretty low...i wonder..

This is very similar to what happened to me. You will be OK, my friend. If you really have a few strands at week four, the worst case will be twelve extra weeks of peg/RIBA after Incivo is done, for a total of 36 weeks. Still, you have an excellent chance for SVR, it will just take a little longer. By week 12 you will be UND for sure, then no more Incivo. Just some extra time on peg/riba. Alan
