The **Anti-Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Total** test is a primary screening blood test used to detect antibodies manufactured by the immune system in response to a Hepatitis C virus infection.
A "reactive" or positive result indicates exposure to the virus at some point in time, though it cannot distinguish between an active, ongoing chronic infection and a past infection that has cleared spontaneously or been successfully treated. Because these antibodies persist long-term, a positive total antibody screening must always be followed by an HCV RNA quantitative PCR test to confirm the current presence of the active virus.
