Relapse
After SVR what is the relapse rate for G2 & G3. In G3 is there any difference between a & b?
Niceguys comments are spot on.
Use the Qualitive PCR test to Check for SVR. It has very low limits of detection.
Newer Quantitive PCR tests also have very low limits of detection, but depending on which country you are in may not be easy to get.
G3b is found mainly in Indonesia

If you are und which one to you test "qualitative" or "quantitative". Thanks a lot for all the answer.
G3 originated in northern India and Pakistan and is most common there, followed by Australia and Europe, especially Germany.
3a is the most common genotype within 3.
PCR is of two types. Quantitative PCR tests the viral load.
Qualitative PCR tests the presence of virus and returns a yes/no.

Do you know where G3 a&b originated from and where they are most common? Is there any difference between PCR and viral load testing?
Relapse for all genotypes is less than 1% after SVR. I think it goes somewthing like
98% cure at 6 mth PCR
99% cure at 12 mth PCR
99.9 cure at 2 years post.
Relapse would include reinfection, so SVR is pretty permanent.
If you mean relapse after End of Treatment then some G3s, with Pre Tx High Viral Load, severe Steatosis and those who dont RVR have faily high relapse rates with 24 weeks of Tx.
Not sure if there is much difference between the G3 subtypes, most studies are on 3a.

SVR --- hmmm haven't seen anyone relapse after SVR --- that I've read about.
Sure hope it doesn't happen. But dunno.
Are you sure you don't mean UND?
SVR is after being undetectable at least 6 months.
