Hi there.

I suffer from ocd and anxiety, specifically about my health. I was wondering if anyone on her could share their personal experiences with me. I had my blood drawn from STD's in April and everything came back negative with my hep c antibody value at .12. I got retested in July and everything came back negative, but this time my hep c antibody value was at .18. I've had no known exposures- do not do drugs with needles, am not sexually active, haven't had any blood transfusions or surgeries, don't have any tattoos, nothing. I play sports, so I do get cuts on my body when I fall but this would be the only exposure I've ever had if people can even get it this way.

Question:
Has anybody else's antibody values fluctuated like this on STD tests?

I did post on there, and they said I needed to deal with my anxiety. I just want to know if anyone personally has had their antibody value fluctuate and if this is normal?

An individual on the hep c forum said that it is normal for antibody values to bounce around a little, but I was just wondering if anyone could personally share if this has ever happened to them. The hep c forum also said that I need to deal with my anxiety, otherwise they would report me for the "nonsense". That is why I brought it to the anxiety forum, where I can see other people have similar concerns to me.

While I can understand your anxiety, I think you would find more concrete answers to your concerns about STD's and HEP C on those specific forums.

I wish you the best
