Hepatitis C RNA tests to know the presence of the hepatitis C virus. A positive test means a person has hepatitis C infection and also how much virus is in the blood which is referred to as the viral load. If the viral load decreases during treatment, it means that treatment is working and should be continued. But if the viral load remains the same, it means that the patient is not responding to treatment.
