I got blood work done last week and it came back positive for hepatitis c antibodies. I was so devastated and had no idea how I could have possibly contracted it. I went to my internist doctor today and he said that I had nothing to worry about. My anitbody test was positive but my rna test was negative...either it was a false positive or my body cured itself...either way I do not have hepatitis c.
I was soo relieved and happy. I was finally going to be able to relax and enjoy the holidays. But now my ocd thoughts are creeping in. What if the test was wrong? No test is 100% accurate? Why would it be a false positive? What if it wasn't a false positive, how did I get hcv in the first place?
Please help, I am so upset that my ocd is taking away my relief and happiness. Any advice?
