Hi and welcome ravs kaur, sorry you haven`t had a reply from us before now.

I would have thought that if the virus was still active after this length of time post treatment, then your mother`s viral load would be a lot higher than this by now, so I don`t think you have anything to worry about, although I`m not an expert.

PCR tests are not always 100% accurate, and there can occasionally be false positives. What did her doctor say about this result?

All best wishes to you and your mother.  ~ Jill xx

 this is very accurate info

My mother is a Patient of Hepatitis C genotype 4. she took treatment for 48 weeks with both Alfa 2b Interferon and ribavrin. She had an early viroligical response and her report was target not detected after 1 month in real time PCR test. After one year 5 months from the treatment now her latest report read less than 12 IU/ml in the real time PCR. HCV RNA test. What can be done now. Does this mean that the virus has come bak. Because her earlier reports have always shown that the target was not detected. Would she have to go through the treatment again. Can some one pls let me know?
