First of all, hi and much appreciation for the work you guys are doing! I've had a really scary incident involving hep-c in the past. Two years ago, I decided it's time to run a full body check to see if everything is all right with me. Done a lot of blood tests as well. One evening I received a call from the clinic saying that they result for hcv is positive reactive (not sure if that's proper term). The call was routine and just to let me know I should visit my doctor to run more tests but oh boy, I got scared big time. During next few weeks cut out all drinks, changed diet and basically lived as if I was sick. This was until the time I got my PCR and liver results which stated everything is fine, no virus detected. Is this self-healing situation common? I think my exposure might have been when I had couple operations as an infant. Second thing, does this mean I cannot be a blood donor?
