| Strange HEP C results Sep 29, 2004 3 month oraquick HIV - NEGATIVE After testing pos for HEP C anitbodies I had further tests done: ( I think I was exposed to HEP C quite a while back, but difficult to tell) HVC RNA NEGATIVE BY PCR ANTI-HCV INDETERMINATE BY RIBA: A BREAKDOWN A Ab, Total - NEGATIVE B Surface Ag - NEGATIVE B Core Ab, Tot - NEGATIVE B Surface AB <3.0 mIU/mL ??????????????? Then * Please note reference interval change ** C Virus Ab Repeatedly Positive ???????? NEGATIVE (WT does this mean?) The doc said in these circumstances an INTERDETERMINATE rarely comes back positive Does this possibly suggest I was maybe one of the lucky 10-20% who's body got rid of the virus? |

Response from Dr. McGovern
I would favor the possibility that the test is a false positive and you were probably not exposed. The indeterminate RIBA suggests that this is a false positive antibody test. Dr. McGovern | |||||||||
