Hi Tom,

Great News ... my VL was ~10 Million and was down to <15 detected at 4 weeks ... I think it just takes a little while to knock that size of VL down, that's why they Rx 12 weeks Tx for it ... not to worry, you're golden ... congrats on the excellent results ... onward to SVR!

 

Dave

Great results Tom! You got this one! <15 I believe was the old standard undetected. Now at <12 due to sensitivity of the tests.

 

This is GREAT NEWS!

Hi Tom,

A result of <15 at this stage of treatment is excellent! "Stoked" is an appropriate reaction. There are many that aren't undetected until the EOT+12 viral testing, that's the one that really counts. But knowing it's below the LLOQ (<15) tells me everything I need to know. You're looking good buddy! Half way and down hill to the finish line, good job!

HCV, RNA, Quantitative Test

Had  bloodwork done on day 36 (required by insurance to secure the third 28 day Px).  Initial VL of 10M is down to <15.  The PA at my MD's office seemed stoked.  Day 44 today...   ...40 to go.
I've seen several "undetectables" at four weeks, but with that high an initial VL, I hope I'm in business. Insomnia is history, but dreams remain cranked up. I may post on the other thread with sordid details. Thanks.
