Results interpretation

Three months following a potential exposure, hepatitis C antibodies are negative but viral load is less than 15. Does that mean I have hepatitis C?

3 months is plenty of time, RNA becomes detectable after 3 weeks, I have read your profile and previous posts, you really never had an exposure risk

YOU DO NOT HAVE HEP C

Please something else to worry about
Have a great day

Thank you so much.. So this less than 15 means undetected or is it low will increase later? How soon after Potential exposure viral load is positive?
Given that this is a three months post exposure, so I need a follow up test with the above results.
Sorry for the many questions and thanks for asking time answering them really appreciate it
