hi.
thanks for posting query at HCM.

HCV is a common cause of chronic liver disease. However, not all patients infected with HCV will necessarily develop chronic hepatitis.

Since your anti-HCV positive BUT HCV-RNA ( PCR) is negative, it means that you have NO virus in your blood. Praise to Almighty GOD, that your immune system was strong enough to get rid of the virus. You need not worry. Your anti HCV positive means that you were infected with virus in the past and the PCR negative means that you do not have virus in your blood anymore. Since you do not have the infection NOR the virus in your body, you may marry happily.

you may repeat the PCR once again. if you have already had the PCR twice, then NO need.

wish you good and sound health and a happy married life.

hope to answer your concern.
