About the Test
This test screens for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a bloodborne infection that can cause long-term liver damage if untreated. A positive result means you have been exposed to the virus at some point, though it does not by itself confirm a current, active infection. It is used for routine screening, pre-employment checks and for anyone with risk factors or unexplained liver-enzyme abnormalities.
What is it? A blood test detecting antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, also known as anti-HCV, HCV antibody or the Hep C test.

No. Hepatitis C antibody screening does not need fasting, so you can eat normally and book a convenient home collection slot.
Not necessarily. It means you have been exposed to the virus. Some people clear it naturally. A confirmatory HCV PCR test is used to determine whether the infection is currently active.
The antibody test can stay positive after the virus has cleared. An HCV PCR (RNA) test detects the virus directly, confirming whether you have an active infection that needs treatment.
It is commonly recommended for those with past blood exposure, unexplained liver-enzyme abnormalities, or as part of routine and pre-employment health checks. Your doctor can advise based on your history.
