Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I was wondering if anyone has ever had an early viral clearance with a high viral load? My viral load before I started was 10,100,000 and from what I read that is considered pretty high. I go for my first VL lab work on Monday and of course I am hoping for early clearance but I guess my chances arent very good?? I guess I should just hope that I am a responder? thanks for sharing your experiences with me. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 It’s my understanding that viral count really doesn’t mean much. I’ve been undetectable many times, but it’s always come back (so far). m From: Hepatitis_C_Central [mailto:Hepatitis_C_Central ] On Behalf Of sunbeltcity Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 1:58 PM To: Hepatitis_C_Central Subject: High Viral Load & Early Clearance?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Sara,I would wager if you don't reach undetectable by 4 weeks, you may surely make it by 12, hang in.. Those are such magical words "your virus is undetectable".. Something to look forward to.. Sheena I was wondering if anyone has ever had an early viral clearance with a high viral load?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Sara,I have heard of and have known SEVERAL ppl who have cleared with viral loads upwards of 25 million,, so I dont think the number is all that important as long as you show that 2 log drop within 12 weeks..

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 That’s wonderful…….I remember how terrific it felt to do that last shot, but I also remember thinking maybe I could blow off the last week of the pills. Each day, I’d think….well, maybe I’ll just take them today and I did that for the week and managed to the bitter end. So keep supporting her as you have been – she’s a lucky woman to have you behind her!
