Well done KAB! That`s great news, congratulations! That`s the sort of news we all like to hear .
Ty, as I understand it you can be reinfected even after a successful tx - it does not give you immunity, sadly!
Love from Jill xxx

Hi KAB, Sounds like you are doing very well. Congratulations on your 1 yr post treatment viral load. I agree with what you said about after 6 mons you are considered clear. You did a whole year so you should be good to go. God bless

Hi KAB, That is fantastic news! I love to hear from people who've beat this thing! You brought up something I've thought about before and that is getting reinfected. When I read the research on how you can catch Hep C, I pretty much meet them all over the years, (plus plenty that I only suspect, LOL). I certainly don't live quite the same life that I did in the past, but I don't want to live paranoid either. I was sort of hoping that going through Tx would leave me immune from getting it again, (sort of like measles?). No such luck, I guess? Oh well, congratulations on finishing Tx. All the best, ty

Thanks so much for your thoughts....Yes for sure Simon we fought hard together and this forum was a life saver for me. Strength in numbers for sure!!!
Jan...my understanding from what I have read/heard and been told is that it is rare to relapse after 6 months post treatment virus free unless of course you get re-infected..however I will find out more when I see my hepatologist in January. I phoned the clinic for the results..
Thanks again

Well done KAB. Such a relief. Am I right in saying that it's very rare to relapse after the 6 month post tx PCR?
