hi all. as some of you know ive startedtreatment 8wks ago and am 3a, i done a viral test at 4 wks and got results when i meet doc 2day. i started with a vl of jus over 5.9m. my 4wk vl was jus over 1.1m. im on 180 peg and 800riba per day and i way 90kg, i have asked doc wat happens next as its not the vl he was looking 4 and said he`ll decide wat course of action 2 take hen he gets my 12wk vl. he said he might add a futher 16wks to my 26wks but depending on my vl.
if he`s not happy with vl he`l stop treatment.
i have tried 2 get him 2 entertain the opion off upping my riba but he`s not budging.
so if any 1 out there had same experiance or any1 can tell me what they think my chances of svr are.
thanx santa

Here's a link, I hope it works, sciencedaily.  There should be information on the package insert.  Also, check out www.AASLD.org

I am geno 3a a relapser, i did the 24 weeks on weight based high dose and 1000 riba a day, I had a 2 log drop at 4weeks and became udetectable 12weeks but was struggling along with being diagnosed with Sjorgrens syndrome which was unbearable but managed to get the end undetectable, 1 month later relapsed. my weight was 67 kilo's

You're a treasure, ca, that's the study santa needs!

here is a link about both extending and upper riba for geno 2/3  its a bit tricky to understand the tabbels though, it seems if you get to UND the relaps rate is much smaller if both extending to 48weeks  and upper the riba to 1200 you shall lock at the relaps % once you undetectable its a small study you can show it to your doc if his able to read it right.

i can picture a scenario where you up your riba and become undetectable and even if you become anemic you can always lower it. Or worse yet stay with what you are taking never become Unde and stop TX at 12 weeks.
