Genotype question?

[Royal36]

I asked to my Dr to do for me a genotype test of my HBV and recently I had a blood test my HBVDNA was 95iu/ml and today she sent an e-mail and told me the machine can't detect my virus and will not be able to tell me what Genotype i am, Is this can be true? Your opinion is much appreciated.

Later after i figured out about the clinical trials here in my place they just told me since you are on treatment we can't do any thing.

[Royal36]

There are too many good clinical trials on HBV here in my area more better than taking the entecavir I was really blind & she is not very helpful to me to put me on those trials. Very disappointing.

I wish i should have done it before i started the treatment & i wonder all the time my specialist doesn't come up with some thing that is helpful to me every time i have to ask her my self like doing blood test(alt, creatinine serium, afp wbc & so on), ultrasound, Fibroscan i had no clue of genotype before i came to this form.

even my result came as undetectable .from what i understand its difficult to get the genome type here in INDIA if your hbv dna count is <2000iu/ml

I'm in the U.S. and had mine tested twice (through Sonora Quest) without issues, but my DNA wasn't as low as yours was (but was not over 1000 iu/ml).  I thought as long as DNA is detectable they are able to test?  I would ask to test with another facility for sure.  good luck!

Got you stifo. You guys are lucky at some times i feel like I am in a jail which here we don't have an access to many HBV testing things.

I was under the care of one of the best research center for hbv in the world and one of the most expert scientists, they have research level machines

[Royal36]

Ok stif thanks. May be I'll ask to some more advanced medical centers like UCSF or CPMC.

What the genotype for most in the United States?

What's a good machine and a commercial machine?

[stef2011]

No good machines can still detect it, commercial machines maybe not.i had it done with less dna than yours
