hcv from oralsex (**)

Hello there

45 days ago I experienced unprotected oral and protective vaginal intercourse. I made the hiv duo on the 28th day got negative. I got the anti-HCV test on the 32nd day and got negative. I did the anti-HCV PCR test on the 40th day and it came out negative. Can I turn off the HCV? Do you need to be another test?

You don’t have hepatitis c. The HCV RNA by PCR test is conclusive. No additional testing is needed unless you have a future exposure.

You do not have Hepatitis C

The HCV RNA by PCR test that looks for the virus itself is conclusive.
