Thanks for the articles. I like to read anything I can about hep c. Yes, one of these days there will be a vaccine and no one will have to go through treatment. Won't that be something to see!

Canuck,
When I saw the title of the article, I read that having sex was linked to spontaneous cure. You know, a Dr. Feelgood kind of therapy.
Innteresting study. I want to say that women really are the stronger sex, but I know that we all work together, however we define our gender roles.
Anyway, thanks for the link as well as your overall kindness, humor, and contributions.

I found this first article interesting, just on principal, but even more intriguing (to me) was everything they had to say about "super-clearers", thanks to their captive study group of subjects (so to speak!), and interesting as well, (once again, dredging up the old subject, that high loads are not that concerning) was their on-the-side mention of high load effects. In some ways, size still does matter. I like reading/learning about all of these diverse subjects! Re: the second article - I still remain comforted somehow, that I was able to find out and know my IL28B CC status! Reading leads me to wonder what it will be like for future populations one day when HCV is not treated, but prevented by immunization!
Yep, and we're going to need a new game.
