Thanks everyone for your support.  Well, he had his first shot tonight at 8 pm and said it was very easy, and that he didn't even feel the needle.

It has been 2 hours now, and he doesn't feel any differently.  So hopefully this will keep up!

Hi Carolinca,

Good luck to hubby and you. As a young Geno 2 it should be a piece of cake. Let us know how he goes and hopefully his 4 week VL will be undetected. Cheers.

Well, the day has finally come!  My husband starts his Ribavirin treatment tomorrow and then the shot on Thursday.  His treatment will last

six months.  Keep us in your prayers!
