Hi all. I'm awaiting my results for my viral load 4 weeks in to Harvoni.
Can you all tell me if you completely cleared on your 1st labs. And what does that read

Hi Bethanne,
My report reads less than 15 & undetected. My PCP ordered labs when I had only been on Harvoni for 18 days so this result is an early & rapid response. A very good indicator for SVR. Good luck to you!! I'm sure you'll see a positive outcome.

I tried to understand what you posted and I think you are saying that
your viral load is less than 15, which at this point seems to be the same as what allabout is reporting.

It sure sounds good!!

Yes, Bethann. Thrilled is an understatement. Your doc will confirm that this is report means you are undetected. We know Harvoni works. Yay!

My Quest Labs reads:
HCV RNA less than 1.18 log not detected & is highlighted green (not red) in range and
HCV RNA less than 15 IU/ml not detected & is highlighted green (not red) in range
