Your doctor that ordered this can give you a definitive answer.

My best answer is as a lay person who is not a medical worker of any kind and as a patient who was formerly infected with hep c. This is what I was able to find from a search of the internet:

Your test result was 0.1
The scale of the test is 0.0 - 0.9. s/co means signal to cutoff ratio it has to do with the sensitivity of the test the 0.0-0.9 s/co is not your result.

Results of below 0.8 are negative, 0.8 - 0.9 are indeterminate, and above 0.9 are positive.

Your result of 0.1 is a negative result but for a more informed answer you should ask your doctor.

so am I free of hep c
You have tested negative for hepatitis C antibodies.

This means you were not exposed to hepatitis c prior to 12 weeks ago.

If you had a possible blood to blood contact more recently then 12 weeks ago you should wait to retest until 12 weeks after a possible blood to blood exposure.
