I relapsed on SOVALDI and Ribavirin

[billewingad]

I have Hep-C G2.
Started SOVALDI and Ribavirin 12 week treatment Dec 23, 2013 (viral load at 2.5 million),
within 4 weeks into treatment my Hep C virus was undetectable.
12 weeks end of treatment my Hep C virus was undetectable.
4 weeks after treatment my Hep C virus was undetected.
12 weeks after of treatment my Hep C virus was detected at 83,000 viral load. It relapsed.

What are my chances of a cure now?

My AST/ALT where really high at end of TX yet showed und. All other blood work was normal. Fatty liver was brought up as possible cause. They get ya in and out of clinic so fast i feel like it's a JIFFY-HEP. I'm 6'2 250 i'll know in a month or so. peace

Forgot to mention however that the abbvie regimen is only for GT1, I believe.

[ms maddie]

I heard that in December the Abbvie protocol is likely to be approved.
The regimen consists of the fixed-dose combination of ABT-450/ritonavir (150/100mg) co-formulated with ombitasvir (ABT-267) 25 mg, dosed once daily, and dasabuvir (ABT-333) 250 mg with or without RBV (weight-based), dosed twice daily.
