It is always great news when your viral load is considered undetectable. That did not happen with me after my first 48 week treatment. Now I have had a 2nd 48 week treatment and in six months I will have results of the detectability of the virus. However I already have cirrhosis so I have to be watched quite closely.
(FROM AN ARTICLE ON THE INTERNET)
Dr. Pearlman: Unlike HIV, HCV viral copies do not directly affect a patient's prognosis and how fast disease is progressing in the liver. Remember, we are measuring blood levels, not what is happening in liver cells. HIV viral load does have a lot to do with quicker progression to AIDS. But HCV viral load does not tell you how fast hepatitis is progressing.
