People Who Test HCV Antibody-Reactive
Need More Testing
People who test hepatitis C antibody-reactive need to be referred to a doctor for further testing to see if they still have the virus. This “viral load” test is usually a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is also one of the tests doctors use to test for HIV viral load. PCR determines whether a person has a chronic case of hepatitis C.
