Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Borderline Positive HCV with negative PCR means
three things.
1. Resolved infection :there is 15-20 Percent chance of spontaneous resolution
2. False positive
There is no need of treatment when PCR is negative.
I would suggest you to repeat PCR after 6 months to be on safe side.
Avoid unsterilized instruments, used syringes, used razors, unscreened blood transfusion and injections abuse.
Hope it helps best.
