HCV+: Hcv+ genotype3, RNA pcr of 1730256 iu/ml refers to your viral load or how much of the hepatitis virus you're carrying in your blood. Your number is toward the high end of the range. You have normal lft's though. It's more alarming that you're hep c positive and are still having unprotected sex, unless your partner is already infected. An infectious disease doctor can assist with your hep c ?'.
