Ask your doctor to order a hepatitis c virus pcr as this will show much earlier than the antibody.

A spcialist in Sweden from Karolinska Univeristy Hosptal are saying that most people with Hepatitis C will have a positive result after 4 weeks, But the window we are using is 6 months so I think that you can relax now.
Sexuall exposure are very uncommon and that is why the CDC donīt recommend testing where on person have hepatits C and the other person donīt have Hepatitis C. When Hepatitis C have been transmitted sexually their is a big chance that blood where involved. Their is very, very little to zero viruses in the semen, vaginal secration etc. If you had a sexually exposure, relax and move on, If you had a needle exposure and would recommend you to move on if you have done a antibody test at 23 weeks.
Best of luck to you.
