Hep c testing

I tested for hep c in September and it was negative then again in December and it was positive from antibody test but negative quantity test and quantity test was negative again at 15 weeks after last sexual exposure. What are the chances of the antibody test being wrong? Mom does anyone know if my tests will affect an HIV antibody test?

The viral load test if that is what you are calling the quantity test, is accurate at the time you had it done. You do not have hepatitis C if that was an HCV/RNA test better called a viral load test or PCR test.
