A member asked:
Can you tell me if i'm getting tested for hepatitis c/antibodies does it also test for thc?

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.
