Therapy completed, undetectable

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

From winter, spring to summer (1/18 - 7/5), I finally finish 6-month

treatment. In order to save money, I did viral load check at 12-

week, it was undetectable. Now, I need to do next viral load check

around mid Aug, and the other one at end of December.

According to my doctor, most of the side effects abate over the next

month...and if I remain virus negative 6 months from now, there is

less than a 0.1% chance that the virus will ever come

back. ...doctor also said that we now have 19 year data for some of

the brave souls who were first treated in the late 1980's and it

appears that they are still negative today--so we are considering

this a cure.

I am so glad that I made this decision going for treatment, even

without health insurance. I am so grateful that the best odds are

on my side (genotype 2). I hope I could do something to help others

fight this virus.
