Question 1

can you tell me if i'm getting tested for hepatitis c/antibodies does it also test for thc?

Accepted Answer

No: Drug-testing is a specific test, usually of urine, and you must be informed that you are being tested in most (if not all) states.  The test for hepatitis c antibody is a blood test that is specific for that one problem.  If your test is positive, further testing needs to be done to determine the activity and extent of the hepatitis c infection.  There is evidence that marijuana may damage liver.

Question 2

i am scheduled for a pre-employment drug screen. they ordered urine collection - 1790 - 10dsp/no thc/phn (1790) does this mean they aren't testing for cannabis? it is legal in my state. thanks?

Accepted Answer

: You should call the lab to make certain.

Question 3

if i drink a gallon of water how many hours before i take my drug screen should i take a b 100 complex vitamin pill to put yellow bk in my urine n will the riboflavin cause me to get a false positive drug screen for thc?

Accepted Answer

: THC will show five to seven days after the last consumption for moderate users, while this becomes ten to fifteen days for daily users. Meanwhile, heavy, long-term users can fail a urine test a month after consuming marijuana.

Question 4

can hepatitis c survive in urine?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Hep C can be found in various body fluids including urine/semen and others. It is not transmitted from simple contact since entry through a wound would be necessary for it to cause infection.

Question 5

can you get hepatitis c from urine and feces?

Accepted Answer

Per the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hcv/cfaq.htm#C1

So not from urine or feces, but you are getting rather close.

Question 6

touched someone's urine with know hepatitis c, can you get hepatitis c from urine?

Accepted Answer

: No risk, nothing to worry about. The hepatitis C virus is transmitted only by blood.

Question 7

i have hepatitis c and my urine is dark brown. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are many diseases and conditions which can turn the urine dark.  Jaundice, diseases of the biliary tract, liver, and G.I. Tract can cause this.  Blood in the urine can appear  dark. Dehydration leading to concentrated urine can appear dark.  In short, your hepatitis c may have nothing to do with the urine color but it could. You need to be evaluated by your doctor i would encourage you to do this soon.

Question 8

can hepatitis c live in urine or would urine kill the virus?

Accepted Answer

Yes..unknown: Data show it can be found in urine but length of survival is not clear. It is so dilute that it is not a risk for spreading the disease since to do so it must enter the blood. The virus can survive up to 3 wks on some inanimate surfaces where a blood spot might be found.

Question 9

medical conditions such as hepatitis-c and cirrhosis of the liver can also cause inaccurate urine drug test results.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Liver disease would not interfere with the confirmatory drug testing.

Question 10

exposure:oral sex(protected):all negative tests -hiv 4thgen.@63,72&78days -vdrl@57,72&78days -tpha@35,40&45days -urine pcr(for 7 stds)@4,14&38days. -hbv antigen(i am vaccinated for hepatitis b(72&78days) -hcv(72&78days) are these tests conclusive?

Accepted Answer

: Life is not conclusive. That is a reasonable test battery with good reliability, however, it answered the question "what do you have" at the time of the test. If you engaged in high-risk activities, even with protection, then you may want to retest after about six weeks. You might also want to consider your personal choice in partners to reduce the level of risk. Be safe and be well.
