What does the Hepatitis C Viral Load Test test for?

The Hepatitis C Viral Load Test tests for:

• Hepatitis C (viral load)

This test is designed for people with an active Hepatitis C infection who wish to determine their viral load. Rather than looking for the antibodies their body creates to fight the infection, the viral load test detects the presence of the Hepatitis C virus within their blood.

Viral load tests are performed for various reasons, including monitoring the course of an infection, assessing how well one responds to treatment, and confirming whether one has an active Hepatitis C infection.

What will happen at my appointment?

When you arrive at your chosen sexual health clinic for your appointment, you will be greeted by reception staff and shown to a private consultation room, where a clinician will take your blood sample. This sample will be sent to our accredited laboratory for analysis, and you should get your test results within five working days.

How will I get my results?

Once your results are ready, they will be posted on your secure online Patient Area, an encrypted section of our website accessible only to you.

In your Patient Area, you can review your results, order more tests, and anonymously notify your sexual partners of your sexual health status.

Should you wish, we can also send you your results via SMS or email. A member of our sexual health advisory team can also discuss your results with you to ensure you have all the information you need.

Can I talk to a doctor about my results?
