I was diagnosed with Hep C 6 ago, but my doctor had me take more blood tests and couldn t find my geno type or my viral load. I don t know if I have hep c or not. I have to repeat blood tests again in November. But my paper work says I have chronic Hep C. I am confused!
HelloThanks for asking query on Chat Doctor. Don't get confused. I assume you have been told to have chronic hepatitis C based on Anti HCV positive report, which is usually a screening test. To confirm and to guide treatment plan you need to undergo HCV genotype and viral load, which will tell the doctor, what is the level of virus in your blood and also tell what type it is. I can also tell you that one the reports are available your doctor will start you on treatment - which has become easy and highly effective since the availability of newer Chat Doctor. Take care.
