is hepititus testing the same as hiv testing - ie 3 months to do a test, how long would it take antibodies to show on average ? 6 weeks like hiv ?
if you done a hiv test would they know if there were any other antibodies in your blood to any other infections ?   cheers

most people show antibodies to hep c by 6 weeks.  don't know re hep b.

I've read various contrasting statements all the recently dated ones say at the most 6 months, some 3 and some inbetween 3 and 6 months. For Hep C this is by the way. Which is correct?

From 0-6 months...

This is not the hepatitis forum. You  have a concern about hepatitis then take your concern there.

We can talk about whatever we want Teak, your not in charge of us man...hep-c & hiv sometimes co-mingle anyways...

Hey the website has forums for both. Use the proper forum. You don't have either so take the BS someplace else.

You don't have anything except mental illness, which has been verified by a doctor.

I know what you were dreaming about, sad thing about it, it's too early for deliveries. :)

i've got connections...lol

Is that a threat snitch? Your always making these thinly vailed threats and nothing comes of them. What is it about people that can't take -or- leave something. Stop playing teacher pet around here man-it's tired...especially when you don't have a shared concern-you know your status, i'm still waiting and it's my right to post any concern, observation or opinion i so choose. You come off your judgments about what someone whose going through the testing period should feel-that includes people with unique circumstances, not to be determined by you, but their own personal judgments. Got it...?

Say good-bye TROLL chapeau. LOL. I really did like Chris's example of a Canadian, I do believe it fits you chapeau, not that all Canadians are like that or at least I hope not.

by Teak, Feb 06, 2008 05:58PM
It's a different test ran with the same machine at the same time.

Your the biggest TROLL around-your site is slow-it's for that you hang around and harass me and new posters with your -move  on / no risk. Your just mad because i have more backbone on you than most of the others around here. You chase me everywhere i post no matter how basic-you always find fault. You've even gone so far as to say you hope i become hiv positive and that i deserved to be exposed to aids man-that's a helpful thing to say to a forum member. People with hiv have some kind of rite to infect people if they choose-is that the logic behind your previous statements? That's the problem with hiv- all it takes for someone to make your life worthless is a vindictive action. I i get banned by this forum because you after the things you said to me i'd be surprised-i's also wonder about this forum. Don't think just because you've hung around this place longer than anyone that your in charge or something-it's a forum not a court, so don't try to hold court...

Yeah, chapeau has his negative result, but yet he wants to Troll the forum, spread false information and when he sees that don't work he spreads rumors. He wants to play the poor me look at me poster boy. He wants to compare Canada to the U.S. and there is no comparison.  Canada doesn't even have the population of the state of California. So yes, chapeau meets the definition of a TROLL.
