Pooh has given you the best information. Most GP's don't understand the difference between the two tests. Mine didn't. I hope that you are still SVR
Please come back and let us know :)

What test did he run?
If he ran an HCV antibody test, that test will always be positive. Once you have Hep C, even after it is cured, you will always have a positive Hep C antibody test.
The test you need to have run is the HCV RNA test to see if you actually have a viral load. If the HCV RNA test is positive, and you do have a viral load, then you have Chronic Hep C and you were most likely reinfected.
Get a copy of your test and see if the test the GP ran was the correct test (HCV RNA).
