About Hepatitis C Test | HCV Antibody | Hep C in Greenville
The Hepatitis C antibody test detects antibodies the immune system produces in response to the hepatitis C virus.
Antibodies are proteins created by the immune system when it encounters a foreign agent such as a virus. In the case of hepatitis C, these antibodies typically become detectable weeks to months after exposure. Their presence shows that the virus has entered the body at some point, but it does not by itself confirm whether the infection is still active.
Because a positive antibody result can reflect either a past infection that resolved or a current one, follow-up testing is often used to look for viral genetic material directly. That additional step helps distinguish an active infection from a cleared or past exposure.
The test requires a blood sample, and results are generally available within a few business days. Preparation instructions should be followed as provided by the laboratory performing the collection.
