I will be finished with 24 weeks of Harvoni in 20 days. Taking Harvoni only, no other drugs. Obviously concerned about the length of time needed to clear the effects of the drug and recover from any discontinuance issues. I have been working out regularly, averaged 4.5 days a week, during treatment in...
