A member asked:
M58, could i donate blood, have hep c antibodies but no virus load, hemoglobin 16.3, platelets 140. ?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: No , you will be rejected. Hep c antibodies indicate that you were exposed with hepatitis c infection in the past. Even though, virus load is undetectable, i will not recommend you to donate your blood.

No: Hcv presence in your system (demonstrated by the antibodies) means you could have the virus and could transmit it to another person, so you are permanently deferred as a donor to insure safety of the blood supply.
