HEpatitis C Testing
What is the window you need to wait to get tested for Hepatitis C? Is it as long as HIV? I don't have any symptoms, and got tested at 6 weeks, with a result of 0.1. Sorry to be a bother, I know this means negative, but why would I have any HCV unless I actually have the virus? Why is this number 0.1 and not 0? Also, do I need to get tested again? This is all do to one high risk experience, but I don't know anything about my partner.
Please go to the HEPC website and read as much as you can. I would not worry too much. Perhaps you can ask some questions of your partner to get medical history. Good luck. I have HEPC, I am a HEPC trainer and have had HEPC for over 30 years...no treatment, extremely slow progressing disease.
