Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

I just went through some of your posts. If you are on Incivek and were detectable at week 4 the protocol calls for 48 weeks. I'm sorry.

From Incivek's website:
"Patients with detectable HCV RNA (1000 IU/mL) at Weeks 4 or 12 will continue pegIFN-RBV to 48 weeks"
