Positive Hepatitis C Antibody Test: Does It Mean an Active Infection?
A positive hepatitis C antibody test is worrying to read, but on its own it doesn't mean you have hepatitis C now. It means you've met the virus at some point. One more blood test, HCV RNA, tells you whether it's still there, and if it is, tablets cure it.

- HPV Test vs Pap Smear: What's the Difference?Both tests screen for cervical cancer, but they look for different things. An HPV test finds the virus before it causes damage; a Pap smear finds cell changes once they've started. Here's how they compare, and which one you need.
- Herpes Swab vs Blood Test: Which Test Is Useful and When?If you have a sore, a swab is the best herpes test, and the sooner the better. A blood test answers a different question, and only after a wait. Here's what each herpes test can and can't tell you, and which one fits your situation.
- RPR vs VDRL vs TPPA: Understanding Syphilis Blood TestsRPR, VDRL and TPPA are all syphilis blood tests, but they don't answer the same question. One type shows whether syphilis is active and whether treatment worked; the other shows whether you've ever had it. Here's how to read them together.
- Anonymous vs Private STI Testing in Bangkok: What's the Difference?Private and anonymous STI testing sound alike, but they handle your identity differently. Anonymous testing doesn't link the result to your name; private testing knows who you are and keeps it confidential. Here's what that means in practice in Bangkok.
- Private STI Testing at Home in Bangkok: How It WorksYou don't have to fit a clinic visit around your stay in Bangkok. With STI testing at home, a doctor comes to your home, condo or hotel and takes the samples there. Here's how it works, step by step.
- STI Blood Tests vs Urine Tests vs Swabs: What Does Each Test Detect?An STI blood test can find HIV, syphilis and hepatitis, but not chlamydia or gonorrhoea. Those need urine or a swab from the place you were exposed. Here's what each sample detects, and why one test is rarely enough.
- Which STI Tests Should I Get? A Practical STI Testing ChecklistYou don't need to test for every infection at once. The right STI tests depend on the kind of sex you've had, when it happened, and whether you have symptoms. This checklist helps you choose.
- STI Retesting After Treatment: Test of Cure vs Reinfection ScreeningFinishing your antibiotics isn't always the end of an STI. Some infections need a test to confirm the treatment worked, and almost everyone treated for chlamydia or gonorrhoea should retest a few months later. Here's which test you need, and when.
- My Partner Tested Positive for an STI: What Should I Do Next?Finding out a partner has an STI raises two questions straight away: have I got it too, and what do I do now? The answers depend on the infection, but the first steps are the same.
- Can You Get an STI From Oral Sex? Risks and Testing ExplainedPlenty of people who always use condoms for sex don't use anything for oral sex, and assume it's safe. It's lower risk for some infections, but not for all of them.
- Chlamydia vs Gonorrhoea: Differences, Similarities and TestingChlamydia and gonorrhoea are often mentioned in the same breath, and for good reason: they spread the same way, cause similar symptoms and are found with the same test. But they aren't the same infection, and the differences matter for treatment.
- Can You Have an STI Without Symptoms? Why Testing Still MattersNo discharge, no pain, no rash. It's easy to take that as a clean bill of health. But most people with an STI don't know they have one, and the only way to find out is a test.
- Early Signs of HIV: The First Symptoms, When They Appear and What to DoThe earliest signs of HIV look a lot like flu, and plenty of people never notice any. So what should you actually watch for, when would it show up, and what should you do if you're worried?
