A member asked:
Would a negative hep c antibody test at 14 weeks post possible exposure and a negative hep c pcr at 18 weeks mean i don't have it?

You're good: I'm going to assume that your only possible exposure was 18 weeks ago. Ryan, I'm glad you recognize the danger and hope you will never again put yourself at this kind of risk -- for hepatitis C or the other dangerous outcomes of these choices.

Yes: A negative result on both of those tests during the time periods you specify means that you do not have hepatitis C.
