How long did it take you to go negative?
I am on triple therapy started with in inviciek for the first 12. It took me till week 20 to go negative...I had dropped the requisite logs but did not go negative till week 20. Anyone else and does that make us slow responders? Reduce chance for sir?
Thanks lj

Yep....48 weeks but I can do it. Thank you for your kind and informed responses. Laurie
From your other posts you went und at week 16, while not the best response there have been others here that were still detected at week 12 and went on to SVR... The bad news is you will need to treat for a total of 48 weeks.......... Hang in there.
I know how you feel, I'm disorganized tonight also.
I do know a woman who is around the same age as you, and she didn't clear until the 12th week, with Incivek. She also had tons of terrible side effects, but she treated each side affect as they came along, and completed her 48 weeks. This poor woman looked SO pale and thin, especially her last few months of Treatment. I was very worried about her, to say the least.
But I am happy to report that this woman DID achieve her SVR (cured) and she looks fantastic again!

I am trying to shuffle through my blood tests and cannot find my VL except that I was over 4 million at start. At week 4 my log was H 2.01 then H 1.15 then less than 1.08 and again less than 1.08.....sorry I am too disorganized and tired tonight. I am thinking my doc said i started at 6 so my log drops were good just did not go negative on the PCR.

Yeah, that is a slow response. What was your viral load at week 12, and week 16?
I went Undetected at week 4, before my third Med (Victrelis) was added. Some people respond better to Interferon then others,is the thing. African-Americans and to a lesser degree, Latinos, have a slower response to Interferon, compared to white and Asian people,also.
