I will find the info for you. A 2log drop is an indicator that you are responding to the treatment, at least that's what I've been told. There are others here much more knowledgeable on the subject. I am relatively new here but have learned so much in a short amount of time. My pcr is 4 mil so at the 12wk mark I'm hoping for at least a 2log drop.

the thing here is I am now going to the 5 1/2 motnh tx , but the dr is saying if the next pcr (* I will do it beggining of may ) to receive results by end of may , if results are not good , to me to stop, I wonder If is not based in a financial decision, because here in the uk we get it for free ...but I can see maybe I have to fight him a bit!!

plus lets see , if the good result would be a 2log drop these would be 56.000 so I am a bit less then the double so it cannot be a bad response?
