A member asked:
If someone had hepatitis c and tested 40 years after conyraction, can they get a false negative antibody test from taking azathioprine and prednisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hep C: If you had hepatitis C for 40 years, azathioprine and prednisone would not be able to mask its presence. Testing for hep C can be via the virus or the antibody. See http://www.webmd.com/hepatitis/hepc-guide/hepatitis-c-exams-and-tests for more information.
