Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

The odds are overwhelmingly in your favor. If the long term results remain consistent with the SVR12 results- ie 90% success for GT1, this should make Incivek and Vicrelis obsolete as soon as it gets approval.

I know not everyone can or will take IFN but 12 weeks sure beats 24 or 48 weeks until the all-oral tx comes out and I believe it will.

Bago, I am so happy you did this trial.

I really shouldn't complain, 12 weeks versus 6 months or a year... That would be tough.
I hope they tell me just how long I have been undetectable. I guess that doesn't really matter, but I have my guesses as to when.
Thanks everybody! It's kinda bitterswet, I want everyone to have the same results.
