No genotype could be found
I work at a hospital and got a needle stick I'm in treatment but could not get a genotype because the patient passed away. I'm on peginterferon injection and ribavirin 6 pills a day this will go on for a year .But now I'm aways sick the joint pain and nausea and vomiting. Will this go away
why would anyone care about the genotype in a dead patient.
It is the genotype YOU have (if you are in fact virus positive) that is what is important.

Why are you treating? Just as a precaution? Something sounds off. You should have either 1) waited to find out if the virus is even in your blood or 2) Treated for 6 months with the drug regimen recommended these days.
