Clinical Relevance
HCV qualitative testing detects the presence of hepatitis C virus RNA, enabling early diagnosis during the window period before antibody seroconversion. It is essential for blood and blood-product screening, organ and cord blood donor screening, and pre-operative testing to prevent transmission. Qualitative HCV assays also help confirm active infection, identify co-infections (e.g., with HIV or HBV), and support timely initiation of antiviral therapy.
