do i have hep c?
(Preview)
I recently took an std test, and for hep c, my count was .1. The test said anything under .8 is negative, but I am worried that that .1 could mean I have it, and just not enough antibodies have shown up yet to give me positive results. Am I worried for nothing, or is it possible I have it?
