Hi, im wondering if you get checked for hepatitis b and it's clear does that mean you don't have hepatitis c? or do you need a seperate test? kind reg

No: They are 2 separate viruses. You would need to get a Hepatitis C antibody level.

These are distinct : viral infections. One does not provide immunity against the other and each is transmitted differently as well as treated differently. If you have risk factors for Hepatits c such as injection drug use , unprotected sex , tattoos, history of blood transfusions at young age you should get tested.
