Is anti Hep C antibody test conclusive on 8th week mark. I had vaginal exposure with a call girl. 1. If not conclusive, how much reliable on 8th week mark. Doctors are requested to give views. 2. Should I plan to do a PCR test. 3. What are chances to get Hep C during vaginal sex. I am feeling anxiety in this regard. Please help me. Regards.

There are a number of diagnostic tests for hepatitis C, including HCV antibody enzyme immunoassay or ELISA, recombinant immunoblot assay, and quantitative HCV RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). HCV RNA can be detected by PCR typically one to two weeks after infection, while antibodies can take substantially longer to form and thus be detected.
