weakly positive, negative, positive, undefined, undetected. What's happening?
14 weeks after a sexual contact, which I'm worried about- I had an anti-HCV weakly positive 1.99. One week later, a second anti-HCV negative (0.5). 18 weeks after the sexual contact, I had my third anti-HCV positive 2,03, an other confirmative test undefined and an HCV RNA (20 IUrnL) undetected. ALT 20 & AST 18 and 2 negative HIV tests. Any idea about what's happening? I'm emotionally tired. I've quite every ssite about Hep C and there are totally different answers everywhere... Thank you in advance.
BTW I just saw where hrsepwrguy gave you your answer. And he was spot on.

The important test is the HCV RNA and it showed you were Undetected which was past 18 weeks. You do not have hep C. And for the record Hep C is not a STD and having sex has a very slim to none chance of getting it.
Time to worry about something other then Hep C because you don't have it... Best to you.
