Am I relay SVR ? 2 years post TX

Background :

Diagnosed as HCV possetive in 2004,Genotype : 1a & 3a mixed.Viral load : 620000 IU,High ALT and AST (ALT : 80)
Treated with Interferon Alpha 2b(non pegylated) + Riba for full 48 weeks
Cleard  3a,remained with 1a with 670000 viral load.(ALT : 70)

near 2 year and half  after first treatnent,I started second round treatment :
Pegylated Interferon alpha 2a + Riba
Cleard Virus at weak 12 (Cobas Amplicor Viral load test Version 2)I think Minimum detection 500 IU),I did not week 4 test.
Repeated test at week  24 of TX,Minimu detection :50, again "Negative"

I stpped tx at week 26 because of side effects(instead of 48 weeks).I did not any PCR blood test except after 7 months of tx that it was for ALT and AST and was normal,I always assumed that I relapsed and I have the virus because I corrupted my tx at week 26.

I study and work abroad,when I came back to my country for holidays I statred eat heavy meats and high cholostrol eatings,without any activity,that I added 4 kg in 1 month,then I one time ate opium and after 3 day I smoked too much
Crsytal meth with Zolpidem tablets maybe 10 or 15 in one day then I felt pain my liver area that I could not sleep,and was very difficult too handle,I want to doctor,My ALT was 90 (normal: <40).
I repeated HCV Viral load and genotyping,assumed that I should start tx again :

Trigelycrides : 279 (high risk) normal : up to 150

Now 2 years after TX :

HCV Genotype : NOT GENOTYPABLE
HCV VIRAL LOAD ( Cobas amplicor V2) : NOT DETECTED

The pain in liver area improved significantly by time

What you think : Am I SVR ?

Those High ALT was because of Meth and Op ? or ?? High Triglycrides?

Or maybe I have under 500 IU virus?

Seems to me you are SVR.  Stranger things have happen.

Perhaps you have found a new cure in the crystal meth :-)

Go and enjoy life.......without the illegal drugs of course :-)
