Viral load incresed

[pinch]

it is my 12th week and I received my a call from the nurse asking me if I had missed any doses.  Of course I have not, but my Viral load has increased from week 8 1700 to week 12 260000.  

can anyone tell me if they have experienced this?

what meds are you treating with at what doses? What genotype?

My viral load also increased very rapidly. 4 month ago, it was 1,800,000. Now it is 7,200,000. Can anyone tell me how could it happen?

Thank you all,

I am hoping for a error at the lab, and awaiting a restest.
I' ll post a reply with the results

Thanks again

Thanks again

same thing almost here for me just heard today only mine was double from wk 4 to wk 6

thanks for the hint!!!!!!!...retest...duh why didn't I think of that....only so much reeling and thinking you so when you get "the phone call".

Wow that's a pretty hefty uptick.  

Have you spoken to the doctor about upping your riba and then having another PCR?  Obviously we can't tell from here if it is a viral breakthrough or a lab error but the second test should let you know.  In the meantime - I'd get in to see that doc and ask HIM what he thinks is going on.

I had some spihks in VL during the first 16 weeks but none more than .5 log and what you cite is an almost 2 log increase in just one month.

I would want to retest in case the labs got it wrong.

I would do that ASAP.

BTW, what genotype are you and wha't your projected TX length?
