CertifiedLabsWhat is a Hepatitis C virus antibody (Anti-HCV) IgM Test?
The Hepatitis C virus antibody (Anti-HCV) test is a blood test used to detect IgM antibodies produced by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) during HCV infection. Once infected by the virus, the antibodies will always remain in your blood and this test can determine whether you have ever been infected with the HCV virus.
