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.

that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.

There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.

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.



There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

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.
