3 months post treatment - undectected
Hello all,
Sorry I have not been on for awhile, our computer died at home and I'm hesitant to go on at my workplace. As many of you know my partner has genotype 3 stage 3/4 early cirrohsis. He did 24 weeks of treatment. We just got the 3 month tests back and he is still undectedted and his liver enzymes have normailized. ....keeping our fingers crossed for the next 3 months. But hey its a good start........

So great to see your good news! Normalized enzymes along with the undie is really encouraging. Wishing your husband all future undetected results and the both of you a hep-c free life ahead! Congrats!
Congrats! This is the study about SVR:
Week 12 follow-up:
Week 12 response had a positive predictive value of 99.7% for predicting Week 24 SVR.
The researchers concluded that assessment of serum HCV RNA 12 weeks after the end of treatment using a highly sensitive TMA assay "is as relevant as after 24 weeks to predict SVR and make decisions on the management of treated patients, suggesting a new definition for SVR."
M Martinot-Peignoux, C Stern, S Maylin, and others. Twelve weeks posttreatment follow-up is as relevant as 24 weeks to determine the sustained virologic response in patients with hepatitis C virus receiving pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Hepatology 51(4):1122-1126 (Abstract). April 2010

Good news! I agree with FlGuy; very few relapses occur after 3 months. Let us know when it's official!
