Hey Julie,

This is great news! The sharp drop is a sign that things are going your way. No doubt that you'll be undetected next time. Everyone has done so well on this treatment, it's amazing stuff. You're half way and the train just started down the mountain! WOOT! Keep it going girl!!! Good luck!

Hey Julie

Way to go 3.7 million to nearly all gone is a sharp drop off, congrats and the next report will be UND in your blood work.

Keep compliant and all will turn off well, BTW are you doing 12 or 24 weeks?

The five week PCR showed virus detectable but not quantifiable.  So it is still there, but the quantity is to few to quantify, i.e., put a number on.  I started at about 3.7 million.

So the treatment appears to be working.

I have had minimal side effects.

Kind of surprised at such quick results, but very happy.
