Question 1

what to do if i have a test and it showed hbeag negative while hbeab positives and my anti-hcv non reactive. what does that?

Accepted Answer

Good news on labs: If your Hep Be antigen (Ag) is negative, that means you don't have hepatitis B virus there in your body. That's great! The Hep B antibody (Ab) means that at sometime in the past you DID have it, but it probably cleared. I would ask for a Hep B virus DNA test to be absolutely sure (HBV DNA). The anti-HCV test means you don't have Hepatitis C, which is another good thing.

Question 2

what should mean when anti-hcv non-reactive 0.15 cutoff value 1.0 
and hbsag non- reactive 0.16 cutoff value 1.0
please let me know?

Accepted Answer

HCV and HBV: From your test result, it means you don't have have evidence of hepatitis C virus or hepatitis  B virus infection at the time when the test was done.  So you should feel good that you don't have those infection.

Question 3

my mother has anti hcv total reactive 14, 6. what is means?

Accepted Answer

She has hepatitis c: Anti-hcv is a test for antibodies to the hepatitis c virus. A positive test means that a person has been exposed to hepatitis c. In most cases, the virus persists in the body and over time can cause cirrhosis and liver cancer. The way to see if a person has active hepatitis c is to measure the hcv-rna level- the actual genetic material of the virus.

Question 4

my lab results shows that my anti hav is reactive , anti hcv is non reactive and my anti hbc total is reactive. hbsag non reactive. what this means?

Accepted Answer

Good news: You had hepatitis a in the past. You only get this hepatitis once so you are immune. You were also likely exposed to hepatitis b but your immune system has controlled it and you don't have chronic infection. You have never been exposed to hepatitis c. This is most likely explanation. Continue to protect against hcv, hiv, and other stds.

Question 5

sir i have had unprotected sex 3 years ago with my gf..and this month (recently) i have tested hiv1,2 ,anti hcv,aa,vdrl non reactive report.. are all conclusive???? above said test report are non reactive.. please confirm..whether i am safe or not??

Accepted Answer

: You had unprotected sex 3 years ago, and not since, with a laboratory report of negative HIV, HCV and VDRL report means you do not have any of the tested STD. What you mean by safe is what I do not know; but you should take precaution in the future so you do not acquire infections by use of condom and being in mutual monogamous relationship.

Question 6

do i have hep b or c?here's result!thanks! 
anti hbs (cmia) 48.35 miu/ml - reactive
anti hcv (eclia) 0.08 non-reactive           hbsag - non reactive

Accepted Answer

Sounds okay: Anti-hbs reactive means you have recovered from hepatitis b or been immunized. Hbsag-nonreactive means you do not have the hepatitis b virus in your blood. Anti-hcv non-reactive means you have not met / are not infected by the hepatitis c virus.

Question 7

my anti-hcv report is 0.05 (non reactive). is it normal.

Accepted Answer

Yes: A lab test for an antibody evaluates if a person had been exposed to a particular infection.  
If an antibody test (to hepatitis c, in this case) is nonreactive, it implies that the person did not have or had the virus that causes hepatitis c because the body's immune system did not generate a response to fight this infection.
 A normal immune system and enough time to make antibodies is needed.

Question 8

if anti hcv blood test is non reactive what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Negative: It's a negative test, which almost always means that you don't have hepatitis c.

Question 9

got my  blood test my sgot/alt is 47 and ats/sgot is 34 and anti-hcv(eia/meia method) is reactive..what does mean should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Check HCV RNA: You may have chronic hepatitis C virus.  It is estimated that 80% of patients infected acutely with HCV will become chronic carriers.  The early tests detect antibody to HCV, but do not tell if you are immune or chronically infected.  You need to get a viral detection test, the HCV RNA test.  The ALT and AST are not really abnormal, but this is not unusual in patients with chronic HCV.

Question 10

after 6 months from needle stick from unkown status of patient got (non reactive) hiv combo and anti-hcv is my testing conclusive i am concerned about delayed hiv seroconversion if hiv and hcv occurred simultaneously? documented by cdc?

Accepted Answer

: With the standard HIV tests now in use, there is no such thing as such long delayed positive HIV blood test result, with or without HCV infection. You can be 100% confident in your negative test results for both viruses.
