hi, does anyone here relapse after harvoni treatment? thanks and God bless

I have never heard of a relapse.  Either the Harvoni works or it don't.  Just so I'm clear, in my mind a relapse is different than a fail.  A fail means the person never becomes totally or even close to being undetected.  A relapse is when someone becomes undetected and stays undetected for a month or so and then their viral load is back with a vengeance.  I have heard of only one person fail, and that was right here on this forum, but I don't remember the particulars.

Hi there, so far I have only recently seen one person who had Harvoni fail them.  I did a search for Harvoni relapse and I found this, I hope this helps a bit.  You can also conduct a search at the top of this page where it says "search this community"

I also found this where people are talking. Lucinda is a RN.  I had thought it rare to have Harvoni fail a person though some people added Ribivarin to assist it.
