Genotype 1B

[BronxRican007]

Fellow Warriors,

Today I finally found that I'm genotype 1B but I'm still waiting on viral load test to come back and biopsy to be done. My Question: Is anyone here a genotype 1b and have you acheived SVR? My understanding is that 1b is the hardest to treat.

Thanks

stc1993--10 shots left, can you see the light at the end of the tunnel?  I can remember thinking what a long year it was going to be at the beginning of tx.   Taking care of all those "little" side effects really makes the time fly.  LOL

cigaso--on the 10th shot and counting.  I, like you, considered the odds and decided to go for it and rid myself of these varmits.  Will be looking for results on your PCR.  

Good luck to everyone and thanks for the well wishes.

I seem to mirror docsgold stats. Genotype 1b, vl 2.5 million, biopsy grade 2 stage 1, mild fibrosis. On my 10th shot. Will have my 12 week PCR RNA test next month. Had a blood test a few weeks a go and my liver enzymes (ALT and AST) were both in normal range, about 34. Good luck to you Bronx. I have an interesting story to post later. I don't have time now. Remember, everyone is different. It is best to get this hideous monster out of your body. I respect those who wait.

Bronx. Per my GI, 90% of the USA has type 1 Hep. Of those, 70% are 1b.
