Frequently Asked Questions

By detecting the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in the blood, the HCV RNA qualitative PCR test verifies an active infection.

Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is used to analyse a blood sample in order to find viral RNA.

It is advised for people who have a suspected HCV infection, have positive anti-HCV antibody results, or are being monitored following HCV treatment.

A positive result indicates that the hepatitis C infection is active.

A negative result means that there is no detectable HCV RNA.
