¡Hola, yoyoma!
You have a 1.52 log reduction in viral load. This is modest; not bad, but not terribly good either; about average.
RVR occurs when the viral load is undetectable at four weeks; difficult to achieve in genotype 1 patients, I’m afraid.
Keep up the battle, my friend; be sure to tell us what the 12 week numbers look like—

You are responding to the interferon which is good. That is a 1.52 log drop in 4 weeks.
It is not an RVR. RVR would be UND at 4 weeks. In my opinion, your chances of UND at 12 wks are as good as any geno1.
Good Luck

Just got 4 week loads. Went from 4.6million to 26,000. I started victrelis after my last test so I am hopeful in 4 weeks I will be clear and looking at 28 weeks and not 48 weeks.
Hi Melvyn..Always best to start a new thread by going to the "orange" (I thought it was green before?? maybe not.. ) "post a question " area at the top of the page. That way more people will see it rather than tagging on to an old thread.
Good news on your 4 Wk. viral load and best of luck on the 8 week test.
Hope the Vic is not beating you up too bad and welcome to the group..

Thanks Will. Appreciate the suggestions. The Vic is not as bad as I feared. Main side is lower hgb levels to around 10.5 from 13 pre tx. I get my 8 week test in early Jan. so I am hopeful for Und.
