A member asked:
Which is better a hep-c rna qualitative or hep-c quantitative at 45 days? or is there no difference at that time frame?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The "qualitative" test is more accurate than the "quantitative" test because qualitative tests are able to detect very low levels of the virus.

Even though qualitative assay has lower limit of detection, at 45 days after exposure, either test will be fine. Remember that Hep C infection is curable.
