A member asked:
Hepatitis c (hcv) antibody result is reactive.hepatitis c virus antibody verification test result is non reacitve. is antibody result false positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: the presence of the antibody indicates an exposure to the antigen (the virus) . the absence of the virus indicates that the virus has been eradicated. It is possible that the antibody result is a false positive. This is unlikely
