Hepatitis C antibody Mar 29, 2008 My test reads..This patient's sample test reactive w/a high s/co ratio:>=8.00. with high s/co ratios have shown to repeat as positive using different methodology 95% of the time or greater. (CDC MMWR NO RR-3 2003) Therefore additional testing for verification of the result is not recommended. What does this mean? |

 It means your antibody test is positive and you have been exposed to HCV. You need to get a HCV viral load test to see whether you are chronically infected or not. | ||||||||
