Unconclusive Test result

I got tested the test came back as unconclusive.  Does that usual mean a future positive ?

You probably have a reactive screening test with a low signal to cutoff ratio and an inderterminate Riba confirmatory test.  This means you had a reaction to only one of the 5 Hcv proteins.  they are call ns 5, c22, c33, 5-1-1 and Hsod.  

There is a chance you are negative.  ask your dr for a Pcr qualitative test.  this will check for the presence of hep c virus, NOT antibody.

Good luck and don't panic.  Try to relax.
