Results after 8 weeks

Still detected, week 12 would be the week that I need <100IU/ml. Haven't seen my enzyme levels this low since 1996, don't know if it means anything, thoughts on ast and alt levels? Frijole can you take these numbers for your updates or should I put them on your update post? Thanks
Charlie

Here's hoping your VL drops and you are UND at 12 weeks. Best of luck.

Exactly, anything under 100IU/ml at week 12 would work for me on VIC.

If the patient has HCV-RNA results greater than or equal to 100 IU/mL at TW12, then discontinue three-medicine regimen.
If the patient has confirmed, detectable HCV-RNA at TW24, then discontinue three-medicine regimen.
