Comment:
Was on Infergen for 48 weeks after not getting to zero viral load on Pegasus. Although I made zero within one month after starting Infergen and kept at zero for the full 48 weeks, after ending the treatment within one month saw my viral load go up to 60,000. Since I have genotype 4 of Hep C, perhaps it just will not work for my specific kind of virus.
