| Response from Dr. McGovern
 If you are concerned about a risk (eg, injection drug use) within the past month or so, it is possible that your antibody would be negative and will turn positive in a few more weeks. If you are just undergoing routine testing, I would be reassured that you do not have infection. | ||||||||
