Service Providers for Anti HCV
The Anti-HCV test detects antibodies against the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). A positive result indicates that the individual has been exposed to HCV at some point, but it does not confirm whether the person has an active infection. This test is often used for screening in individuals at high risk of HCV infection or those with symptoms of hepatitis. If positive, further tests (such as HCV RNA PCR) are needed to determine whether the infection is active and to assess the virus's amount in the blood. The test is performed using a blood sample, with minimal risks, generally limited to slight discomfort during the blood draw.
