What does false positive hepatitis c test. mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You don't have hep C: I am assuming your hepatitis C (HCV) antibody came back positive, but the HCV viral load was undetectable which is the confirmatory test, hence when the HCV viral load is negative = false positive hepatitis C test which we see sometimes.
