Ask your Hepatologis: This question is best answered by your hepatologist or whoever is prescribing your hep c regimen. Look at it this way, if you quit too soon as suggested by someone else who isn't managing your program, who's going to take responsibility for return of the virus? I suspect that your hepatologist would just as soon turn over your care to that person while saying "i told you so".
