A member asked:
After exposure 1, 5 yrs, tested neg hcv ab, but herpes and chlamidophila pneumoniae pos..could these two infections delay my hcv antibodies to show up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If the exposure was more than a year ago and you are hcv antibody negative, it is very likely that you did not get infected with hcv. Did you get tested for hiv? If not, you should discuss that with your doctor.
