4 week results vl 269k started @ 4.8 million
Anyone with similar numbers, is this good bad or indifferent?
You might want to start a new post of your own since this thread is a couple of years old -- that way you'll get a lot more responses.
But, unfortunately, what it means is that your mom has relapsed, i.e. the virus has returned after she treated and reached undetectable. I'm very sorry! There are a lot of people on this board who relapsed and retreated and attained SVR. It is possible.

Preferably you want a 2 log drop by week 4 (or UND of course). If not that, then at least a more-than-1-log drop, since fluctuations under 1 log show no significant decrease in virus.
4.8 million IU/ml = log 6.68
269000 IU/ml = log 5.43
Log drop by week 4 = 1.25 log
Depending on the sensitivity of your week 12 viral load test, let's say it is sensitive down to 5 IU/ml (log 0.7) - that would mean you need yet a log drop of 4.73, to become UND by week 12.
I myself got a 1.62 log drop by week 4. At week 12 I had dropped another 2.32 log, making a total log drop of 3.94 from the starting log of 5.08. My viral load at that point was 14 IU/ml (log 1.14), so I became UND soon thereafter, between week 13 and 15, thus classified a slow responder.
Wishing you UND by week 12!

Its a 1.23 log drop, so its looking good for UND at EVR.
I would also suggest the 8 week PCR and pretty much for the same reasons as copyman. It will be usefull info.

I was 5.2m at the start. Week 2, 1,7M, Week 4, 104,000, Week 6 410. I'll get week 8 tommorrow. I think I bracket between rapid responder and early responder. And yes, newest data indicates that the VL @ 8 weeks tells the tale. Good luck with your next test.
