Hepatitis C antibodies are normally detectable about 2 months after infection. However, hepatitis C infection can be detected by this test at an earlier stage.
In untreated patients, the determination of viral load is used to determine the start of therapy. Antiviral therapy should lead to a significant reduction in the viral load. Therapy success also depends on the HCV genotype.
