is there a place to go for support and to learn more about it just found out will start doctors appt for meds guidelines
i just found out that i have hep c is there anyone that i can talk to so can learn more?
A reactive hep C antibody result indicates past or present HCV infection. In a low risk population, false positive reactions may occur, therefore, testing with a qualitative HCV RNA is recommended.
Didn't your doc call you on this? You should have another test also known as a HCV PCR. This kind of result is required to be reporterd to the dept of health in the state I live so you may get a call, so be prepared. You don't indicate what you do or don't know so I will wait to see what your response is. You also don't indicate if you are educated about HCV. If not you can get much info and support here, just ask. I hope this is not what it seems to me. Best wishes. LL
it could mean you had it but your body cleared it happens in some people
This is what I mean:
Report: Result In/Out Unit: Reference Range:
Hepatitis C Reactive Non-Reactive
Antibody
what my labs say reactive is yes, but a lot of people on here are very smart on this maybe they can help, good luck genedog
