PCR RNA Test Results?

Hi-I took some good advice (thanks Trinity) and repeated my HVC antibody test at 10 weeks (neg). I then took a HCV RNA Qual Plasma (Roche 2.0) at 11 weeks-which came up "not detected." The muscle weakness I was experiencing has gotten a bit better-very gradually. There are no ther symptoms-now 14 weeks since possible exposure.

Do you think I can rule out HVC and maybe look at a reactivated EBV? My antibodies for EBV were pretty high. Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Dan

It's interesting how the symptons of a disease disipate when it's confirmed that the diagnosis of said disease is not warranted. But, you are correct, it could be something else. Don't give up.

Jakied-Thanks!

FIG-Thanks too I guess-but I've had something I can't shake for three months now. Glad it's not HVC. Good Luck and God Bless You,
Dan
