worried
hi all, recently i was screened for Hep C hep B and HIV and all came negative except for Hep C, i was so worried and i had no drugs or any of that background, had only 1 unprotective contact with my girl wich is negative for hep C, anyways, i waited for a week and went to a diffirent lab and the result came out negative. so iam really confused, which to believe and what to do next? iam a medical student 5th year had no history of any drug no alcohol what so ever and only 1 time unprotected contact with my negative hep c girl freind. first lab took them 4 hours to get my analysis and the second one took them a day to get my analysis so i dont know which one is more accurate. also the first time i took the analysis i was injured in my leg (football) and it healed in 1 week time so maybe positive reaction related to injury of shin inflamation. thanks in advance for your support. may god bless u all
This discussion is related to SGOT/SGPT values for HCV infection.
As Bill1954 told you on the ealrier thread where you posed this same question, you have one positive antibody test, and based upon that you need to undergo a viral load test to see if you have HCV, or only the antibodies.
