A member asked:

Positive anti-hcv test, negative hcvnat test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't have hep C now: If you meant the hcv RNA test was negative (and it was a good quality one), then the 1st positive anti-hep c ab test means one of two things: it was a false positive or you were infected at one piint in time and then was able to clear the infection on your own.
