EIA Positive/RIBA negative

I have tested positive on the EIA antibody test. Since I am in a low risk group this was followed up by a RIBA confirming antibody test. I have been told this means I was likely never infected with Hep C and the first test was a false positive. Does this mean I can still donate blood or be an organ donor? Also do I have to tell doctors, dentist or other health care professions anything other than that I am healthy since I did not have a past infection just a false positive? And finally what does this mean for future sexual relationships? When I discuss sexual history and health with a future partner do I have to tell them anything about this since I had no past infection? Thanks for any info and best of luck to you all

A negative RIBA result indicates that you were never infected in the first place; there is nothing to disclose to anyone. Sure, you can tell someone that the antibody test is faulty at times, but this has nothing to do with you.

Enjoy life!
