Hi Will, I haven't been fishing for 42 weeks, which is the period I've been on triple Rx! Can't wait to get back out on my boat.

Thanks for the info about the use of antiproteases post transplant. I hadn't seen anything published. It makes sense to try to get the VL down and hopefully the newer drugs being trialled can be used post transplant. I presume you're on Ciclosporin, and wonder how that will interact with the PI's. Good luck and please keep us informed of your progress. Cheers.

Hi Iris and Will, the protease inhibitors are not approved for post-transplant HCV. All patients with circulating Hep C virus become reinfected after transplant. Treatment with Peg and Riba can be used, but side effects are often severe.
