24 or 26 weeks?

Thank you to all in advance!

First off I apologize for my questions in concern to the my suspicion of hcv. I wish all of you the very best. Please forgive me for my ignorance of this disease. Without detail and to the point I have had a negative antibody test at 14, 20 and a little past 24 weeks. My question is 24 weeks 6 months? Can I rest assured with these results? I've seen all the web pages with info, but I'm looking for honest opinions?

Thanks for your time. And god bless.

Just out of curiosity, why do most sites go by incubation rather then window? Are they the same?

I gather that 24 weeks from exposure is pretty solid, but then some site say otherwise.

Thanks for your input! I will do my best to find another answer to my symptoms.
