What is Hepatitis C Antibody (HCV) test?
Hepatitis C (HCV) is a virus that causes an infection of the liver that is characterized by liver inflammation and damage. Hepatitis C tests are a group of tests that are performed to detect, diagnose, and monitor the treatment of a hepatitis C viral infection. The most common test for HCV looks for antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to an HCV infection. This test detects the total anti-Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies and is used as a screening test to detect the HCV virus infection. The test is performed by an immunochromatography method. Since this is a screening test all the reactive cases have to be confirmed by HCV RNA qualitative PCR test.

I normally have an issue with my veins as they are very thin but the technician was experienced and the sample came out in one shot at the first attempt, which really reassured me.
