Harvoni 4-5 week viral load - Not Detected
« on: December 22, 2017, 06:08:17 am »
Hello everyone,

I'm about 6 weeks into my treatment and got my 4-5 week viral load lab results this morning. Couldn't be happier. Very few side effects to speak of. The Harvoni High wore off and now I just feel great. Before that every day was a struggle to make it from morning to night. Sleeping as much as possible. My 12 week supply will be done on May 17th.

HCV RNA, QUANTITATIVE REAL TIME PCR Reference Range: <15 (IU/mL)

<15 NOT DETECTED 03/24/2017

HCV RNA, QUANTITATIVE REAL TIME PCR Reference Range: <1.18 (Log IU/mL) 

6.45  01/16/2017
 
<1.18 NOT DETECTED 03/24/2017 บอลสเต็ป2


I see everyone saying undetected. But I assume Not Detected is the same thing. Am I right?

All I know is I feel better than I have in years.

Have a great day everyone!

Congratulations, punsikorn49. Yes, some laboratories use "Not Detected" and others use "Undetected." Since those tests were done in March and you finished treatment in May, by now have you had the all-important test twelve weeks after the end of treatment? If that test also says NOT DETECTED, you are cured.

So, this person is copying old posts in our forum for some sort of purpose. Sigh, makes you sad the ways people want to exploit anything they can. Deleting user.

Thanks to the volunteer moderators for being diligent during their holiday time!

Thank you Jack - and to all the volunteer moderators! I could tell something was funny with this person's 2 posts. The posts sounded legit but the sig file (now deleted) contained nothing but 2 links to online betting. As you say... amazing the lengths people will go to to spam & exploit others.

Happy Holidays to all!
