You can get a note from your doctor stating that you do NOT have HCV just the anti-bodies. Anyone that has cleared viruses like Hepatitis A,B or C will always have antibodies in their blood for the rest of their lives.

You are not contagious and therefore should be able to travel abroad. If you only have antibodies you can NOT pass this to anyone.

there is pleanty of data to support this. just do a google search.

Even if you drain blood from your body the new blood will still maintain antibodies.
good luck
