There is an old saying " the sun has risen, the sun

Yeah, we came in from the northwest part of the state all the way through, through a blizzard from Colorado, over halfway through Texas. As you can imagine Texas is not well prepared for blizzards, it was a trip I'll not soon forget. -dz-

Hi Jill,

RT-PCR is just what the test is called that they do to detect

viral particles in blood serum. I think it stands for 'Reverse

Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction'. We usually just call it a

'PCR', and when you see that we are talking about a test to check for

viral load. RIBA is Recombinant Immunoblot Assay - again, I think!

The HCV part just means that is what they are testing for, since it

could be testing for other things. It is just a test that is more

specific and accurate in testing to see if you have HCV than the

routine antibody tests. An 'indeterminate' result means it definitely

needs to be followed up with a more specific test, which would be the

PCR. Did they give a result on the PCR test? What does it say?

Here is a great paper to read about HCV. It's also a good paper to

print out and take to your doctor since many primary care doctors

don't know a whole lot about HCV, and this paper is really meant to

be info for medical professionals. It does talk about serologic tests

for HCV.

Good luck,

Claudine

Claudine,

Thank you for your assistance! You guys are so much help!!

The only thing the paperwork I have says is:

Anti-hcv repeatedly reactive

hcv rna not detected

riba hcv sia indeterminate

I know so little about all of this. All that was explained to me was that I am

probably at the low end of my wave right now.

Jill,

That means that it's possible you do not have HCV. You may have

been exposed to it but your body fought it off by itself. Or, you

have a viral load (the amount of viral particles found in a certain

amount of serum) that was below the lower sensitivity level of

whatever test was used. Or it was low on the day your blood was

drawn. This could be very good news! It should say somewhere what the

" normal " is for that test. It would look something like <100 IU/ml or

<2000 IU/ml or <1000 copies/ml something like that. The numbers can

be very different from one test to another. However, some tests are

not very good, and there can be virus there, but the sensitivity

level of the test is too high to detect it. Some tests don't 'see'

anything under 200,000 copies/ml! So the sensitivity level of the

test used is really important. Even if it is a good test, and no

virus was detected, you need to have it rechecked periodically since

you could have it and it just be at a low point now. It does

fluctuate up and down. BUT - you might not have HCV afterall! Good

luck!

Claudine,

Thank you for the information.

The test results I was given didn't have any numbers on them. I wonder if I'd

ask the health dept if they have access to those numbers if they would give them

to me.

I see the Dr. on Monday 7/15. I am sure they will do more bloodwork and they

should have numbers for me. Atleast I hope they will.

The HD told me that I very well may be at the low end right now anyway. I can

only hope for the best, but I won't get too excited about the possibility if I

am still pos.

I picked up a multi vitamin w/o iron and some milk thistle today. Guess it won't

hurt anything to start taking it.

Thank you again Claudine. You are a world of help!

Jill,

When you go to the doctor ask him/her to do a viral load test

with a very low detection (sensitivity) level. Insurance usually

covers these tests. I'll post some info on some. And you're welcome!

Hi Terry. I hope your feeling OK today. I had one of

those sleepless nights and I'm tired and achy today,

but hey, I'm doing a lot better than many other people

in the world. Have a great day.

Sharon seance starting treatment in January. I have gone back & forth between being able to get a good nights sleep & being restless, not getting much sleep. For the last 2 weeks I have only had 2 nights that I got a good nights sleep. Right now I feel like a zomby. Thanks for asking.
