Is this RVR?

I started triple therapy with Sovaldi/Pegintron/Rebetol on 15th August. On 28th September I took HCV RNA test and got result <15 UI/mL. The report says: No measurable signal - no HCV RNA detected!

I am so happy the treatment is working on me, but I was wondering if this is considered RVR with respect that I took the test not exactly after month but 1 month + 10 days.

I hope you don't either. Your doing all you can do. I would like to add in trial studies whether one was RVR or not did not have an effect on their outcome. In other words it didn't really matter. Again being UND at week 5 is great.... Best

Was you RVR? Well one will never know because you were not tested at 4 weeks. But in your case it doesn't really matter as your UND and being so at week 5 is good. The main thing is that after treatment you remain UND and the odds seem to be in you favor. Best of luck to you and keep taking all your meds.

Hi not sure my result after one month was <15 detected
I think it means I am in between 1 to 15 virus detected
not sure what it means in your case I thought undetected is simply undetected but I could be wrong .
