I have a ua with my po in three days. have hep c, taking clindamycine, will that help with cleaning out my system? or could provide a false positive?

It depends: on which type of test is done. Sometimes clindamycin will cause a positive(false), but the secondary testing clears that up. The hep C can slow breakdown of all sorts of chemicals
