About Hepatitis C RNA Test in Millcreek
Hepatitis C is a bloodborne virus, and RNA testing is the method used to establish whether the virus is currently present and replicating.
The test uses nucleic acid amplification (NAA) to detect HCV RNA, the viral genome. This approach can reveal the virus within a shorter window after exposure than antibody tests, which may take weeks or longer to turn positive.
A reactive RNA result indicates that the virus is present in the blood. A non-reactive result means no viral RNA was detected in the sample. Results are reported as either detected or not detected, and quantitative versions may also report a viral load.
Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily through contact with infected blood. Testing is used both to identify new infections and to monitor people who are already known to carry the virus, including before, during, and after treatment.
