America get a grip!!

Why are you still using them tests that only shows < 600 or <500 or what it is.
They are stoneage not only makes it hard to do a prober tx strategi for  the patients, its also confusing to the rest of the world when sombody tells they story of relapsing after long time UND in tx.

I told my doc the other day about someone who had relapsed after 90weeks soc and beeing UND. And he said you dont know what test thay have used there, ( was he really UND he meant) they still using old tests in USA "I dont know why he added but they seems to be very slow to make chanses over there some times".

So stop beeing a laughing stock to the rest of the civilized world and tell your md, congressman or whathever to GET a GRIIIIP!!! and throw them old testes in the trash can were they belong!!

That would be "HDR" (as in high dose ribavirin) and not "HDV" as written.

You obviously checked later than I did. My "Swedish" check was when I started treating around three years ago. At that time, Lindahl and Company were using a sensitivity of 50 IU/ml in their HDV pilot study, while I was using Heptimax with a sensitivity of 5 IU/ml. As to your "personal experience", previously noted, I'm sure many of us would like for you to expand on that thought :)
