I really know nothing about the length of time a Genotype 1 person should treat with Pegasys and Ribavirin because most of us who are Genotype 1 are now treating with 3 drugs (Pegasys or some other type of interferon, Ribavirin, and one of
the new drugs which became available
in May 2011 (Incivek and Victrellis). Beng on
the three drugs gives us Genotype 1 people a much better chance of clearing the virus and resching a sustained viral response (75 - 80% chance now).
