# Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Antibody With Reflex to Quantitative Real-time PCR

> This test looks for antibodies your immune system makes against the Hepatitis C virus and, if found, measures the actual amount of virus in your blood. It helps show whether you have an active infection that needs treatment or if you were exposed in the past and your body cleared the virus. While this confirms the presence of the virus, it does not determine the extent of any liver damage.
