I am co-infected with HCV/HIV. My hep c genotype is 1b. After 12 weeks of combo therapy (pegintron plus riboviran) my viral load is undetectable. Are there trial study results which show the percent of people with this genotype who have stayed in remission after completing 1 year of treatment versus those who relapse?

We dont' have enough data on Sustained response vs relapse in those coinfected pts receiving PEG + riba. if they behave like pts with HCV only, then we would expect about 80% chance of keeping the response sustained. I suspect the % will fall short of this in coinfection, but we await the results of the ongoing trials to know exactly how much.
