I used a needle once over 20 years ago. I have been tested every two years for the anti-HCV, for the last six years and do normal blood tests. All three tests came back negative for anti-HCV. Occasionally have had borderline elevated ALT but it goes back to normal. Now, in my last test, my HCV ratio is 1.24 (all other liver enzymes were normal.) Doctor is doing further tests. Could I have gotten three false negatives ove the last six years and the virus has been sitting in wait ? Does that make sense ?
