A member asked:
Can hepatitis c be detected on your test for hep c during incubation period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within a few weeks: If a person exposed to hepatitis C becomes infected, virus particles (called HCV RNA) can be detected within 1-2 weeks. Liver function tests also will tend to rise during this timeframe. Hepatitis C antibodies appear after RNA is detectable and can take 3-12 weeks to appear. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS767US767&ei=kHyMW636Oemqgge5l5OABg&q=hepatitis+c+antibody+detected&oq=hepati
