HCV genotypes
Is it possible for one person to have more than one HCV genotype?
i had 5 genotype tests and not one of them was able to determine mine... they all said that it was 'atypical and undetermined' and recommended to test again..
Mixed genotypes is known-usually 1a and 1b.This often resoves down to only the dominant one (1a) presenting on subsequent genotyping-as in my case.
NyGirl was the one that responded to me, telling me that she had 2 viruses...made me feel whiny for complaining about 1 virus...
I'm also geno 1a and 1b, another combo kid. However, you CAN have dual genos such as geno 1 and geno 2 if you've been infected multiple times. Very rare and not sure I have encountered this with anyone I've communicated with, it's just possible.
