Health and travel insurance
I tested positive to HCV antibodies but further testing with PCR RNA Quantative testing was negative. I live in Canada and wonder if it will be a problem down the road with travel insurance or joining an extended health plan. Anyone have any experiences with this, Canadian or American? Thank you.
Hi Tixxy I also live in Canada I was diagnosed in 2001 . I have never had any trouble getting any insurance . I travel every year and always have lots of coverage and have recently purchased extra coverage through blue cross. I am currently on triple therapy with full coverage.
according to your test you dont have an active infection. so no problem. 15% of exposures are resolved by your immune system. barry
Congrats on not having the active virus, here in the US it does create a problem if one tries to get insurance on their own and not thru a company plan... and it's also very hard to get a good rate on life insurance.
Plenty here from Canada that should be able to help answer on that side.................. Best to you.
