I had a very bad experience I have the genotype that is supposed to resist treatment, but in four weeks time they couldn't find the virus in my blood. Here's the bad part after just 4 weeks i ended up in the hospital for a week and was very close to needing a transfusion. I am alone in this and scared to try again, side effects included depression made worse because I am alone, pains and aches, hair loss and a rash that was so bad I still have scars on my arms. There is more but enough now.
