"i repeated the pcr test today the result is negative"
You had the test done and got results the same day? Then you must own the laboratory because I have never seen anybody be able to get results that quickly.

Congratulations, you don't have Hep C. With negative for antibodies you are fine.
Lynn is right about talking to your doctor for an explanation
Good luck, Dee

On rare occasions the PCR machine can be contaminated from a previous test and make the following test look positive. With a negative antibody test and a new PCR test negative, I think you can certainly rest easy.
