Depends on the test: If you recovered from hepatitis a and b with a positive hep a igg antibody and a positive hbsab (surface antibody) for hep b, then there's no problem: you're no longer infected and are now immune. If you have a positive hep c antibody, you need an hcv RNA (viral load) to see whether you're chronically infected or have cleared the infection.
