I am very worried.what is value of elisa negative? can I decrease the value of elisa by using some mediation? one doctor give me one syrup and retest after one month using this syrup (slimux).plz guide me
I'm so sorry. The country you are attempting to work in has a policy to deport or detain anyone with Hepatitis. I think that you really should have a letter of explanation with your passport. You could have this attached to your international vaccination card. If your are presently in the UAE then you would need a letter of explanation from a doctor there. Any documentation outside of the UAE won't work. As you can see it says"Hepatitis." It doesn't spell out what kind. Just says nobody with Hepatitis. So a letter of understand is an important documentation with your passport documents. You have to show proof of your status.
If you can accomplish getting a letter of understanding you may have a chance of staying in the country.
I hope this helps

Sorry to say your antibody test will never be negative so if they won't allow with a positive antibody test, unless you can appeal somehow, it does not sound like you will be able to go to the UAA
I would go back to the medical organization the embassy directed you to and ask for a HCV RNA PCR. Pay for the test and have the results sent directly to the embassy on appeal stating your are not currently infected with Hepatitis C. Therefore, you can't infect others. If this was important as you say...I would try everything before giving in.
Hope this helps

There is nothing you can do about a positive antibody test.
Once exposed to hep c, even if you do not have the virus which in your case you do not because your HCV RNA by PCR test is negative, you will test positive for the antibody for the rest of your life.
The antibodies are produced by your body in reaction to exposure to the Hep c virus. It is unfortunate that the embassy apparently has this rule that if you have antibodies even if you can prove you do not carry the virus they will not approve your visa to travel to the UAE. My only suggestion is to appeal or perhaps ask an immigration attorney about your case.

problem is that I had got job in uae but before going to uae, embassay asked me to go medical center.where my medical result is unfit due to hcv (1.25).and with this result I can't go to uae.my dream was break.i want to remove thiis antibodies in my blood.bucause I want to go to uae.
Go get your job back or sue them. You have no Hep c virus in your system. That clearly shows on the quantitative test. Even if you did have the virus you have been discriminated against. HCV is not an air-borne illness. Many people are so ignorant about it. Like cancer was years ago they thought you could get it from hugging someone. Contact the labor board and get a case going if your employer will not rehire you.
You are cleared from what you write. Quantitative is the one you should focus on and it's zero = zero virus cells. The other is the anti-bodies that you will always show on tests. It's just anti-bodies indicating you HAD the virus and nothing more. Doctors don't know everything.
If you test positive for hepatitis C and don't have a viral load (HCV RNA PCR test) is "negative" then you don't have hepatitis C. As"Flyinglynn"said above.
Otherwise, you can test positive for hepatitis C and not have the virus. You only have the antibodies in your system. Results- you have nothing to
worry about. You don't have "chronic Hepatitis C." You only have antibodies in you blood which is proof you once were exposed to Hepatitis C but cleared the virus on your own. 25% Clear the virus on there own.
I don't know how old you are but this happens more in younger people.
These antibodies will NOT protected you from a exposure to Hepatitis C. You can still be infected again. Otherwise, take the time to educate yourself about hepatitis C so you don't allow yourself to be re-infected.
Don't share personal items like razors, toothbrushes, nail clippers etc.
If I were you... I would get retested. Or get a letter from you doctor showing that you have no viral load. You would have to post the whole
test for us to see exactly what your talking about with this 1.25 test are
different. Get it and post the values. Your going to need this info if to contest your dismissal from employment. My guess is they only know
you tested positive for the antibodies. If you don't address that you
don't have active hepatitis C then your excepting all they know. They
don't know you don't have Hepatitis C.

but I want to know that what is 1.25 value? because I lost my job due to elisa 1.25.and I want to decrease this value because I want to go abroad.
Having "hepatitis C antibodies" in your blood doesn't protect you from future exposure to hepatitis C. You can still get hepatitis C.

IF I understand correctly, and, mind you, I am not a Dr or even in the medical profession, but a patient like you, the ELISA is a measure of hepc antibodies.
IF I am correct in that, then it does not matter WHAT the numbers are, you will always have the antibodies, just like when you get a measles, or small pox vaccine. There are always antibodies present. That is how it works, so please quit stressing.
Your Dr has said that the HCV RNA PCR (Quantative) test was negative. THAT is what is important! Please don't worry about the antibodies. Many people have them who do not now, nor have ever had hepc. Just focus on the RNA PCR test that is negative. That is the important thing!
Taked a very deep breath, exhale, and relax. It is all right.
Good luck. Pat

can I decrease the value of elisa antibodies?
I do not know I am not a doctor but I seriously doubt it
and what is negative value range of elisa test?
I do not know I am not a doctor
Ask a doctor as opposed to an internet support group of patients if you want better answers
