That is the geno type I had and my viral load was thirty six million seven hundred twenty thousand and it still worked I was clear after 4 weeks and still after 12 weeks I get a final blood test in September because it can hide in the body so they recheck after 6 months then you know for sure if you are clear or not.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Harvoni as possibly including nausea, fatigue, headache, trouble sleeping, and muscle pain.

Ref: Harvoni Information

Most of the comments from those who've taken it seem to mention the fatigue, and muscle pain the most.

Jane, what side effects, if any, did you experience?
