How long after EOT does Harvoni stay in system

Just wondering if anyone knows how long Harvoni stays in your system after treatment. It probably varies depending on treatment. A 24 weeker may have it in their system long than a person like my who just finished 12 weeks.

I have been curious about the half life as well but had difficulty finding a source do you have a link to that information?

Thanks

Apparently, the half life of Harvoni is 47 hours.  There doesn't seem to be a
requirement to use birth control on Harvoni if not using Ribavirin.  So it appears that Harvoni leaves your body relatively quick.  

I sure wouldn't want to take the chance of getting pregnant while taking drugs
like Harvoni.  Seems it doesn't come out till much later that there are issues.
