There has been much internet buzz about hepatitis C virus interfering with HIV testing, but it's rare if it occurs at all. And contrary to popular belief, HCV is not an STI, except in one circumstance: men having traumatic anal sexual practices with other men. Assuming your partners are male, the chance you were exposed sexually to HCV is nil. All your tests are 100% conclusive: no worries!
