Hello
My fiance has hepatitis C. I got tested for hepatitis c and it came back negative. That was the antibody test.

-To be sure since the antibody test has a window period, my fiance had me get the RNA test.

-how much more accurate is this test?
-What is the likelihood that I could have contracted hepatitis C from her and it not show on the HCV antibody test?
