Hbv and hcv are to different types of viruses. It is standard procedure to test hcv and hiv and hdv also when virus is discovered. Its not advancing to hcv . Also, for hcv there is a cure now, sure..is 95.000$ but it exists.
When does it unfold to HCV or most likely what are the warning signs?
I'm HBV +ive but have not done HCV test and my HIV test is negative. its sad what HBV patient are experiencing. Initially, i only thought a HBV carrier is the only status not know they come together. its really sad. i pray i dont have such.
I'm HBV carrier but have not done HCV test and HIV test is negative
Hello, yes it is possible. It is also possible to get a false positive. I am only sharing this because when I was going to start a trial I had all of these preliminary tests done. Then when they started the trial I had to have all tests done again. I tested positive for Hep B. The doctor knew that was wrong, I was retested and it came back negative so I was able to do the trial.
When first tested in the 90's for HCV I recieved a false negative and went on until 2007 when I was dx correctly. Mistakes do happen.
I hope you don't have both.
I like the "by the house" comment that is cute :)
of course. when you discover that you are hepatitis b positive one of the tests you have to do are for HCV and HIV .
