What is the Anti-HCV Test?
The Anti-HCV rapid test screens for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C spreads mainly through blood — unsafe injections, transfusions or shared razors and needles.
Most people with hepatitis C have no symptoms for years while the virus slowly damages the liver. The good news: hepatitis C is curable with modern oral medicines when detected.
What it measures: Total antibodies to the hepatitis C virus in the blood.
