Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
HBsAg is Non-Reactive that means Hepatitis B infection is not there.
The anti-HCV antibody test is most commonly used enzyme immunoassay with a specificity of 99%. Anyone with risk factors, elevated liver tests, and a positive anti-HCV has a good chance of HCV infection.Your test is negative.TAKE CARE!
