How can you tell if you have hep c?

Answer 1

To learn if you have the hepatitis C virus, you take what is called an antibody test, or anti-HCV (anti-hepatitis C virus)test. It tells whether your body has made proteins called antibodies to fight the hepatitis C virus. Antibodies stay in your system after you've had any kind of virus, even the flu. Your doctor sends a small amount of your blood to a lab and the results come back in 1 to 2 weeks. If the antibody test is positive, it means that you have been infected with the virus. But your body may have already removed the virus on its own. Another test is needed to confirm that the actual virus is still in your body
