About test
What does Hepatitis C Virus (HCV Antibody)-Rapid measure?
This rapid test detects antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which may indicate past or current exposure to the virus. A healthcare professional may order it to screen people with risk factors for HCV infection, investigate possible liver-related illness, or assess exposure after certain medical or blood-related events. A reactive result usually requires follow-up testing to check for an active HCV infection.
