What Is The Hepatitis C Test For?

Hepatitis C is a virus which can affect the liver and cause serious life threatening damage over time – but it is usually possible to cure the infection.

This test detects antibodies exists in the blood, which indicates your immune system is responding to the presence of the virus.

Importantly, Hepatitis C is often symptomless until significant liver damage has occurred, so it is important to be checked if you are at risk.

Does a positive result imply that I can transmit the virus?

Yes, Hepatitis C is a blood-borne virus. If you have a current Hepatitis C infection, you can potentially pass on the virus, especially through blood contact. Further advice should be sought from a doctor if a positive result is obtained.

Is the Hepatitis C test kit reliable?

Yes, the use of this test kit is highly reliable as it is analysed in a UKAS accredited laboratory by medical professionals.

What should I do if my Hepatitis C test results are negative?

A negative result indicates that no Hepatitis C antibodies were detected in your blood sample, suggesting you do not have a current or prior Hepatitis C infection. However, if you remain concerned or continue to experience symptoms it's recommended to seek advice from a healthcare provider.

What should I do if my Hepatitis C test results are positive?

If your test results are positive, it means that you have or have had Hepatitis C. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss further diagnostic tests and potential treatments. Early detection greatly improves outcome and can prevent liver damage.

How to interpret the Hepatitis C test results?

Once your blood sample is analysed by professionals, you'll receive a report detailing your results. A positive result means that Hepatitis C antibodies were found, indicating a current or past infection. A negative result means that no Hepatitis C antibodies were found.

How does the Hepatitis C test work?

The test works by detecting the presence of Hepatitis C antibodies in your blood. These antibodies are produced by the body when it fights the Hepatitis C virus. You collect a small sample of blood using a finger-prick method and send it to a UKAS accredited lab for analysis.

How can I use the HCV test kit?

You will first need to clean your finger with the provided alcohol wipe. Follow the instructions included with the lancet device to collect a small blood sample.

What are the symptoms that this Hepatitis C test can help diagnose?

Hepatitis C often presents with no symptoms. However, this test may be beneficial if an individual has been experiencing symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, jaundice, or has been exposed to at-risk scenarios for HCV like shared needles or unregulated tattooing.

What conditions can the HCV test identify?

This test can identify an active or previous Hepatitis C infection. Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation and can potentially lead to severe liver damage if left untreated.

What is the Hepatitis C test kit?

The Hepatitis C test kit is a convenient at-home testing package used to identify whether or not an individual has been infected with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). The test utilises a small blood sample obtained through a finger-prick method.
