Looking for opinions

Hi, I was diagnosed with chronic hep c in November of 2022. My viral load was at 209,000,000 and has decreased to 453,000 in 2 months without any treatment started. Is this typical? Thanks

  1. Hi, . First off, let me just say I am not an expert on all things Hep C, so please keep that in mind. After doing some digging and reading a few medical studies, it appears that viral load can spontaneously fluctuate in individuals with chronic Hep C. I don't know that it's "typical", but it does occur. How often is also up for debate among researchers. So, I realize this answer is about as clear as mud, but there you go!


    Will you be starting treatment soon? How have you been feeling?
