A member asked:
My hepatitis c antibody test was non reactive. the results included a comment "does not exclude early acute hcv infection". what does this mean?

See below: It takes the body variable period of time to make antibodies in response to an infection. In the case of Hep C it may take a few weeks from the time of infection to the time when the body makes antibodies. If you are concerned about have been exposed to Hep C, you may wish to repeat the test in about 6 months.
