Q: in how many weeks jaundice appear if someone infected by hepatitis c? how long the jaundice symptoms stay on body?

: The incubation period for HCV.is 2 weeks to 6 months. 80% of infected people do not exhibit any symptoms and the virus can remain dormant for decades until symptoms develop. If a test i s positive for anti- HCV antibodies ,a nucleic acid test for HCV ribonucleic acid [RNA] is needed to confirm chronic infection and treatment.
