Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I recently had labs drawn for work. My HCV s/co ratio is 0.92, and my anti HCV is equivocal. I don t have a history of Iv drug use , blood transfusions or what I would consider, high risk factors. I do work in the health field but have not had needle sticks, however, I have of course cared for patients with HCV. Can you please help me understand these lab values. Thanks
[|AI|]  Hi.thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. The values of both tests suggest that you need further tests to confirm if you have HEPA or not. Equivocal means neither positive NOR negative. Results with S/CO ratios of > or =8.0 are highly predictive of the true Antioch status, but additional testing is needed to differentiate between past (resolved) and chronic hepatitis C. you be tested for HCV RNA by RT-PCR.hope to answer your concern regards Chat Doctor.
