About test
What does HEPATITIS C ANTIBODY(HCVAB) RAPID TEST measure?
This rapid test detects antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which may indicate past or current exposure to the virus. It may be used for screening, assessing possible HCV exposure, or evaluating individuals with risk factors or clinical findings that warrant further investigation. A reactive antibody result does not by itself confirm an active infection and may require additional testing.
