Sorry .. Dave had already responded basically the same thing....just my slow typing  :)

If they are not telling you VL until the end of the study ..it is even more of a reason to have them done on you r own early.

Good results in prev. trials for this drug as I put below.

Make sure to get a PCR early on so you know results and can make better decisions that way. es most trials will roll over your treatment at the end if you  got the placebo and were not successful..All and all  could be a good one to participate in

Good luck ..and let us know,,

I wouldn't find out my viral load count til the end of research, but they would pull me off the treatment if I clear, so, its rather obvious what drug you got.  I can always go to my primary doctor and get tested.  They keep you on the treatment if you are not clear however.  (und)

I would seriously consider participating especially if you get 4 week pcr results so you know your chances early in tx. When do you get viral load results initially and do they stop tx if not und at week 12?

the reason I am considering doing the TMC435 treatment is because my specialist advised me that this treatment is 10 times better than the upcoming BOC and TELA.  And I don't think I want to wait til they are approved.  They also told me that if I get the placebo and fail, I will have the opportunity to get the "real deal" after the research is complete.  
Also.....I am a level 2 now, so I am anxious to get started and have success.  Have you heard anything about the TMC435 drug having much better results than BOC and TELA?
thanks for the input.
