viral load compared

[didithesheep]

My viral load went from 8.2 x 10^6 to 10.4 X 10^3 after 1 month,at my first count.How is this compared to other people who get a hep c treatment???Should i consider this a quick reduction,average or maybe even minimal??
Somehow i just want to get some grip on whats going on inside me, and i also wanna know how i do compared to others.I hope there are some people who want to share and compare theyre ''numbers''.

with friendly greetings,

I think a lot of people (although not all) here are/were geno 1.  I was 1b specifically.  

Things may have changed with the addition of protease inhibitors to the tx regimen.  You used to be looking for a 2 log drop by week 12 in order to have what they called EVR and it was a desirable marker on the road to SVR.

At week 24, if you still had measurable virus, tx was typically discontinued.

When it was just the riba/interferon combo, RVR meant no measurable viral load at week 4.  And that was considered to be an excellent prognosis for SVR - although it did not preclude people who were not at RVR by week 4 from clearing and achieving SVR.  

Anyone?  Is this still the case with the introduction of the protease inhibitors, or what are the new markers?

thanks for your reactionwillbb.
I started my treatment with riba,interferon and incivek(teleprevir)but had to stop with the incivek after 5 days due to a allergic reaction.(quick and all over my body)
So now i just take interferon and riba.after 4 weeks into the treatment they took my blood and did the vial load count again with the outcome you see here above.i think i might have a chance.
