Okay I have found reference to your genotype:


The biochip contains 120 oligonucleotides that identify genotypes 1 to 6 and 36 (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2i, 2j, 2k, 2l, 2m, 3a, 3b, 3k, 4a, 4c, 4d, 4f, 4h, 4i, 4k, 4n, 4o, 4p, 4r, 4t, 5a, 6a, 6b, 6d, 6g, 6h, and 6k) subtypes.

And as well 7,8 & 9, that Dee referenced.  

So is not a typo!  But you could find lots of refernce to genotype 3 and be sure that treatment protocol would be the same.

Welcome to the forum,
I have not heard of genotype 3k,  maybe a typo.  I have genotype 3 as well and am on treatment of interferon and Ribavirin.

Sofosbuvir is not yet approved for use by FDA but in process and expected to be as early as December this year.   Very soon!

How do you get That sofosbuvir? Coz im scared of the Side effect of interferon which sounded like opiate withdrawal and yes i have depression im an x addict and i dont want to be hurting coz its like a nightmare to be hurting again like That for 24weeks. Does the interferon causes the Side effect or the ribavirin?
