It is crucial that you get the test results and get them right because all the latest studies have said in order to get the best odds to achieve the "cure" if you are positive still at week 12 BUT undetectible before week 24 (the stop zone) then you need to extend treatment to 72 weeks from 48.
That is in fact what I did and what Trinity is now doing. Knowing your VL is very, very important so make sure they are on top of this.

nygirl is correct. My 12 wk PCR was almost the same as yours and reported at 793 IU/ml. Roche Taqman something or another. Sensitivity to 75 IU/ml
sounds like your VL was 720 at 12 weeks.
Get them to fax it over to you so you can type it out or tell them to read it VERBATIM to you. Nobody can know what values they are talking about - I dont have a clue what those two numbers might be they don't sound like a VL lab result to me.

Go online do a Google Search for Lab Results, Blood Labs...that is pllace to start.
