Description

A Hepatitis C antibody (HCV Ab) test detects antibodies in your blood that your immune system produces in response to the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). A positive result indicates past or present exposure to the virus but requires a confirmatory test, such as an HCV RNA test, to determine if you have an ongoing infection. What the Hepatitis C Antibody Test Does Initial Screening: The HCV antibody test is the first step in diagnosing Hepatitis C. Detects Antibodies: It identifies antibodies that your body produces to fight the virus. Identifies Exposure: A positive test means your body has encountered the virus. Interpreting the Results Positive Result: This signifies exposure to the HCV virus. It doesn't confirm a current infection, as antibodies remain in your system even after the virus is cleared. Negative Result: Generally indicates no exposure to the virus and no current or past infection. Next Steps for a Positive Test HCV RNA Test: If the antibody test is positive, a more specific test for Hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (RNA) is needed. Confirming Infection: The HCV RNA test confirms if the virus is currently active in your blood. Determining Treatment: A combination of tests helps healthcare providers determine if you have an active, chronic infection and guides treatment decisions. How the Test is Performed Blood Sample: A small sample of blood is taken from a vein, usually in your arm. No Special Preparation: No special preparation is typically needed before the test, and you can usually continue your normal eating and drinking routines.
