This product is a home blood test kit that screens for antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). The presence of these antibodies (anti-HCV) may indicate past exposure or an ongoing infection. While this test can help identify whether you have ever been exposed to the virus, further clinical evaluation and confirmatory testing are recommended to determine active infection.

Useful for individuals at risk of HCV due to medical history, blood exposure, or other risk factors

Hepatitis C is a virus that can infect and damage the liver. It is mainly transmitted through sharing needles while injecting drugs, through unprotected sex with an infected person and can also be passed from mother to baby. Many who are infected with the virus are unaware as there are often no noticeable symptoms. However, a chronic hepatitis C infection can cause cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) which can lead to chronic liver disease. Hepatitis C antibodies are produced by the body in response to exposure to the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Testing for these antibodies in the blood helps to identify a hepatitis C infection.
