Thank you for comment. I went to another hospital and they also done Anti HCV (screen test). The doctor only told me that I  have some small problem in  liver, high enzyme and they took my blood again for more tests.

Your lab test you reported have nothing to do with one either having Hep C or not, sometimes a "weak positive" is a false positive. What your doctor should have done is order a RNA PCR to check for a viral load before making a statement like he/she did as if you are positive there is about a 25% chance you only have the antibodies in which case you do not have Hep C... Good luck and have the PCR.
