| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Although as a whole, genotype 1 infection is harder to treat, many patients (more than half) do attain a sustained virologic response (SVR). The most important thing to do is to take all medications as prescribed. This will improve your chances of a response. Also do not drink alcohol. | ||||||||
