I got myself tested for HIV,HBV & HCV PCR test two days back. All came back negative. So that I suppose answers my query on conclusive. Only one small problem remains. The test said as limitation of assay is that presence of PCR inhibitors may result in false negative. i was taking some homeopathy medicines for gastric trouble before the test. could they have influnced the pcr test in any way or should i take them as final and move on.

While waiting for Dr. D's answer, you might read:

or search the MedHelp Hepatitis C forum for answers about the diagnostic tests you have had as pertain to Hep C. I think it would help reassure you.
I think you will find it is very unlikely that you could have contracted Hep C from a sexual encounter as you describe. Hep B is possible. It is even more unlikely that your tests have come back false positive. But don't take my word for it.
I think you may be a hypochondriac. you sound like you are clear of hepc and your weight loss is simply due to your exercise regime. Hep C is very rarely spread through sexual contact and I know a man who has had hep c for 14 years and has fathered 2 healthy children who are free of hep C while being a carrier of hep C.
Hep B and HIV are highly sexually transmissive but Hep C is rarely found in semen or sexual fluids you are excessively worried about a condition you do not even have and sound like a very fit and healthy young man
