How HCV is Diagnosed
1. Screening for Exposure: The first test is an HCV antibody test, which shows whether someone has ever been exposed to the virus. It’s quick, often 5-10 minutes. A positive result means the body has encountered HCV at some point, but it does not confirm an active infection.
2. Confirming Active Infection: If antibodies are present, the next step is an HCV RNA test (viral load test). This lab test looks for the virus’s genetic material in the bloodstream.
+ A positive RNA result confirms an active infection and signals the need for further medical assessment and treatment planning.
