"HCV Not Detected IU/mL"

I never thought I would see those words.   But I did ... today.  Got my hard copy of 9 wks viekria/riba blood draw.
AST 16,  ALT11 - Lowest I have ever seen these in the past 15 years.

I am in shock.

3 weeks to go.

Hey, that's great, DM!

I'm coming up on 12 weeks, post treatment myself and will go in for labs this coming week. My doc has not mentioned any testing beyond the 12 week EOT up until now, but I have an appt. at the end of September, so we'll see what he has to say at that point.

I don't think there's a standard, in terms of testing beyond 12 weeks. Each doctor will have their own preference.

Good luck to you.

Marc

the finish line is just ahead,''

I guess they will do EOT VL, and the 12 weeks after that and then one year??

This changes and varies from doc to doc.   Does anyone know the norm??

I had baseline, then 5 weeks (>15) , then 9 weeks (UND) and he is  planing one at week 13 (EOT)  What left after that?  Whats the norm and what did you doc do (vl test-wise).

Just trying to figure out when the is finally over.

thanks!
