You'll have to try to be more specific and provide some context. It could be a test for C-antigen on red blood cells, anti-C antibody, hepatitis C,

protein C, C-reactive protein, or a number of other things.

Can you be positive for hepatitis C for 20 years and not have a positive blood test?

It would be highly unlikely not to have a positive hepititis C blood test if you had had hepititis for 20 years. (However, just to be clear, standard types of blood test, such as "full blood counts" do not test for Hep C. The only blood test that does test for Hep C is the Hep C blood test). Although it would depend slightly on how often you were having the blood test done; there is a very small chance of a test being postitive when the patient is negative, and the same change of the test being negative when the person is positive. If you just had the one test done, the result is mainly accurate, however without another 1 or 2 done in subsequent years is difficult to conculsively establish that the first one was utterly accurate. For example, if you had a sequence of (let P=positive and N=negative) PNN, it would be more likely that you were not carrying hep C than carrying Hep C. If the sequence was NPN, it's still more likely that you're not carrying hep C, although you may be asked to have another test, just to make sure. Whereas NNP, you're GP may ask you to get the test redone, just to be sure.

What blood tests are available to check for hepatitis C?

I'm not sure if there is a home test or not for Hepatitis C, but this is not something to be taken lightly. I would HIGHLY recommend that you speak with your physician. A simple blood test can determine if you have Hepatitis. If you have the slightest inclination that you may have Hepatitis, please get tested. Hepatitis C may lay dormant in your liver for decades, and the damage may be done before you have any symptoms.

No, when alcohol is tested for in the blood, the lab looks for the specific molecule alcohol, and not liver inflammation. So a person with Hep-C would not test positive for alcohol unless they had ingested alcohol in some form.
