you are lucky for the hiv. you deff don have it. people would beg to be tested negative at 3 months. for the hep c it means, they take ur blood, and put it with the blood of other 100 people. someone in that blood group tested possitive. so now u have to re-test. hep c u get it from sharing needles. like tattoos. its really hard to catch it from sex

1. But i search on internet if someone get HCV, it can increase time period to produce antibodies for HIV, please guide me, if its not true?
NO, it wouldn't have increased the time needed to produce detectable antibodies for HIV.  You would have tested POS for HIV at the time of your test had you been infected.

2. And please tell me you mean i need not to worry for HIV Any more?
We've already said that, many times.  

3. what is meaning of Indeterminate HCV?
"Indeterminate" means not pos and not negative, it usually requires further testing.  Ask the doctor who tested you what your next step is.  Specific Hep questions should be asked in our Hep forum, this is an HIV forum only.


Okay, now I've answered your questions.  Time to move on.

1. This is an HIV forum please post with regards to HCV on the appropriate forum or consult with your doctor.

2. No, you do not need to test any further for HIV. YOU DO NOT HAVE HIV

3. Yes you can, but your tests prove that you did not.  YOU DO NOT HAVE HIV

4. No it cannot

You do not have HIV and your test results prove that

You don't have HIV- your test was conclusive. Hep C doesn't affect HIV testing.
