An elisa score of 2.0 is a 'weak pos'  and may be a false pos.

Ask for the Riba confirmatory test, which is very SPECIFIC for hcv antibody.

Sometimes the screening test has a cross reaction with other antibodies, resulting in

a 'false pos.'  Do you have a risk for Hcv?  drug use, blood transfusion etc.  Be honest.

The elisa and Riba look for the antibody to Hcv not the virus itself, fyi.

The Eliza test does not give you any information about how harmful or serious your hepatitis C is. That test only tells you if you have the antibodies to hep C. Your other laboratory studies and perhaps a biopsy, gives the information about how serious your disease.
