[QUOTE="amys3yungins, post: 623836, member: 17137"] Thanks for the replies! Actually what I have read so far is encouraging. Apparently the initial screening is an ELISA test which has a 40% false positive accuracy. The next blood test to be ordered is a RIBA test and it is more accurate. 15-25% of people infected with Hep C clear it from their bodies on their own although this is not uderstood. My hope is that it is a false positive. It was very barely positive as it was a low number score on the titer. 1 point into the positive range. He was diagnosed with Mono on January 1 this year and this affects the liver function test studies as well. Anyhow, he has a doctor appointment in a couple of weeks to continue to the next steps. amys3yungins [/QUOTE]
