Hep C cure Jun 17, 2007 My doctor says I've been cured (?) of Hep C for over 3 years (after combination therapy of 48 weeks), however test shows a very low level of HCV RNA. TMA method shows 1,08 (expected range <0.70 LogIU/mL) and 12 where expected range <5 IU/mL. Should I worry about these values? Secondly, are there chances of infecting my wife through intercourse? Thank you for your reply. Pablo |

 I would simply follow up on these results in about six months. The risk of sexual transmission between monogamous couples is very low; in your case it would be lower due to low levels of virus. You can consider condoms if you are still concerned. | ||||||||
