+ Anit-HCV Question

[clueless1980]

In January of this this year I had a low s/c ratio + Anti HCV test that registered 2.29 scale >1<8. I went on to have an indeterminate RIBA, and a negative PCR. Recently we found out that we were expecting and my OB ran another Anti HCV which came back positive at 2.84 on the same scale. I am awaiting my 2nd PCR results now.

I have two questions and I apologize in advance if they are stupid.

1. Does my rise in antibodies have any correlation with possible virus progression?
2. Is it normal for antibody levels to change?

Don't mind me...  Treatment seems to be messing with my ability to think.  ;)  Willbb is WAY smarter than I am.

Sorry to be a pest, but can someone explain to me what suezeeque is saying in her replys above?

With a neg. PCR there is no virus progression..You do not have HCV....

Sorry, I'm not quite understanding what you are saying. Could you please rephrase your answers?

[suezeeque]

Sorry, I think you already answered that with the "scale"?

Just taking a -total- guess here, but I think the reference ranges are important.  :)
