Diagnostic Tests
HCV RIBA |
The HCV RIBA test is an
additional test to confirm the presence of antibodies to the virus. In
most cases, it can tell if the positive anti-HCV test was due to
exposure to HCV (positive RIBA) or represents a false signal (negative
RIBA). In a few cases, the results cannot answer this question
(indeterminate RIBA). Like the anti-HCV test, the RIBA test cannot tell
if you are currently infected, only that you have been exposed to the
virus.
