Patient's question:
Two years ago, my prenatal test showed positive for hepatitis C. I questioned the doctor, suspecting a mistake. After another two years, my hepatitis C antibody test came back negative. I would like to ask what it means when a hepatitis C antibody test is negative?Doctor's answer:
A negative hepatitis C antibody test can rule out hepatitis C. There is a possibility of a false positive result in a hepatitis C antibody test. If the test remains negative after several careful checks, it may indicate that the body has completely cleared the virus or that previous results were false positives. A negative hepatitis C antibody test can rule out the possibility of transmission. In daily life, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease.
