Hep C


I was recently tested for all std's and it came back negative, but my Liver enzymes came back little high Alt 76 Ast 42. Though told me that i was not immune to hep b even though I had the vaccine as a child. Im currently 19 years old to this day. They said there was no antibodies found on the results for anything at 6 weeks of possible exposure. The test they ran was IgM and Igg for everything. Im curious though on what could cause my liver enzymes to raise if i tested negative.


Extra information:
Gf took a std test the only i have slept with and tested negative for everything. She is also immune to Hep B. Neither one of us has never done drugs in are life.
Had another blood test done for liver enzymes and it came back more elevated ALT 176 AND AST 48.

I have never done drugs in my life and had unprotected sex once with my girlfriend which tested negative for all hep just over 3 and half months. Do you think I would still have it if that was the case? Would I be at high risk I mean I know she is clean and since I don't do drugs they say its very rare to even get hep c from sex anyway? I was worried about hep b but didn't know since she is immune due to vaccine if I could have got it from her.



Questions:
How accurate are my test?
Is it possible that I have Hep A,B,C even if we both tested negative? Also, if she is immune to Hep B is there any kind of chance to exposure to me?
Do you think I have Hep with the information I have?




Update:

So I went to the GI doctor and they did a ultra sound and blood work which all came back to normal except for the alt and sat which both drop from alt 176 to 90 and ast 70 to 40. They did a hepatic panel which I guess checked the liver functions and was normal. I'm just making sure though if I were to have any kind of hep would all this stuff be abnormal? He said almost 99% of the people that have hep their alt and ast is much much much higher then that like the 1000's.  Also, i know ultra sounds cant tell you for sure if you have hep or but can they tell if you do most likely making it abnormal or could it be normal and still have hep? So just one more opinion from anybody on here would you say that I could have hep?

I am not sure your reasons as to why you keep asking the same thing over and over... There is a ask a doctor forum here as you don't seem to either understand the answers you have been given or you think if you ask enough they will change.
