Welcome, Wilmann. Many people have a very easy time on Harvoni (I am one of them) and obtain a very fast response, with the virus becoming undetected in just four weeks (true for me). The remaining weeks of treatment let Harvoni get rid of any virus that is hiding.
 
Yes, I wish you luck, although Harvoni is so effective, most people get cured.
