[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern about HCV infection, but unfortunately HCV infection of genotype 3 is most resistant to treatment with bad prognosis. Newer Chat Doctor.  The effectiveness of the treatment depends on the following factors:1. Age of patient2. Presence of cirrhosis3. Viral load of HCV. I suggest you discuss with her treating doctor combination therapy of regulated interferon and Bavaria with increased dose as that is the best therapy for genotype 3 HCV keeping the above-mentioned criteria in mind. Thanks.
