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.
