| Response from Dr. McGovern
 There are two alternative explanations. 1. You recently acquired hepatitis C and then cleared the virus. 2. Alternatively, sometimes even in chronic infection you can have periods when virus is not detectable. As for the genotype, sometimes it is not typeable if there are multiple mixed genotypes. Regardless, I would have the qualitative and quantitative testing performed again to be certain of your status. Dr. McGovern | ||||||||
