Hepatitis Tests
 

Hey,
When you have a blood test for Hep B and/or C, and the result is "negative" it means you don't have it, doesn't it?

So it would mean like, you're negative for antibodies against the disease (which would imply that you had been exposed to the disease, if you had the antibodies). Right?

Either way, you're healthy if it's negative?
Cheers.

Yes. :)

Yep!
I'm not sure if the test is for antigen or antibody, but either way, if the result is negative it means you don't have it and you are healthy.

Agrees, yes, but I think they should make that a lot clearer when they tell you!

Thanks, yes they really should!
She was like "hi, this is ____, your test result was negative, okay bye".
And I was like....ummm, okay, I'm pretty sure that's good?!

Yeah, if the test showed that you had it, they'd call you back in for another test.

Cool, thanks.
