No your starting viral load plays no part in how long you treat, it depends on your response and degree of liver damage. While there is a four week lead in before you start Victrelis. Once you begin one must be undetected at week 8 (four week lead in and then four weeks with Vic) to complete treatment in a total of 28 weeks, if one has cirrhosis it is suggested one treat for a total of 48 weeks.... Hope this help, Best to you.
d AASLD Recommendations
1. The optimal therapy for genotype 1 chronic HCV infection is boceprevir or telaprevir in combination with pegylated interferon alfa plus ribavirin.
2. Boceprevir and telaprevir should not be used without pegylated interferon alfa and weight-based ribavirin.
For Treatment-Naive Patients:
3. The recommended dose of boceprevir is 800 mg administered with food 3 times per day (every 7-9 hours) together with pegylated interferon alfa and weight-based ribavirin for 24-44 weeks, preceded by 4 weeks of lead-in treatment with pegylated interferon alfa and ribavirin alone.
4. Patients without cirrhosis treated with boceprevir, pegylated interferon, and ribavirin, who have undetectable HCV RNA at weeks 8 and 24 may be considered for a shortened treatment duration of 28 weeks in total (4 weeks lead-in followed by 24 weeks of triple therapy).
