Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
patient has insufficent hep c virus to obtain genotyping this genotyping essay should only be known for hcv positive patients with hcv levels at 1000 at iu/ml. ???? that I assume I am negative or just not positive enough

But to me, it means the virus was found, but the levels were not high enough for the test to identify your genotype.
You will probably need to be retested.
Good luck,
Bob
