Depends on the tests: You may have good news if your positive test was a hepatitis C (HCV) antibody, and the negative one was a check of viral load by quantitative HCV RNA assay--this would suggest you have convalesced from a prior HCV infection. Don't assume however--ask each provider what tests were run. If it turns out you have HCV, get treated please.
