What this test screens for
Understanding the Hepatitis C
Our Hepatitis C Test in Ashburn is a blood screen that checks for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a bloodborne virus that affects the liver and frequently causes no symptoms for years. The HCV antibody screen detects the immune response to the virus, indicating whether you have been exposed at some point. It is a single blood draw at our Goose Creek Village location, with results typically ready in 24 to 72 hours, for $59.
Because the antibody screen reflects exposure rather than an active infection, a reactive result needs a confirmatory HCV RNA (PCR) test to determine whether the virus is currently present. Timing matters as well: antibodies generally become detectable around eight to eleven weeks after exposure, though in some people they can take up to roughly six months to appear. Testing very soon after a possible exposure may therefore miss a recent infection, and retesting later can add confidence.
The hepatitis C antibody screen can be ordered on its own or bundled into our Comprehensive STD Panel, which combines several screens into one blood draw and one visit at a lower combined cost. No insurance or doctor referral is needed, we include the physician’s order, your results never run through insurance, and the report posts to a private, secure online portal. Samples are processed at industry-standard reference labs.

What to expect
From check-in to results — what your visit looks like
Most visits take under 15 minutes. Here’s the full arc, start to finish.
How to prepare
No fasting is required for the hepatitis C antibody test, and you can eat and drink normally before your visit. The main thing to consider is timing, since antibodies typically take about eight to eleven weeks to develop after exposure and can occasionally take up to six months. Bring a photo ID, and if you are testing because of a specific exposure, note roughly when it happened so you can judge whether enough time has passed.
During your visit
Come to our Goose Creek Village location at 42775 Generation Drive during open hours, no appointment needed. After a brief check-in, a trained collector draws a small blood sample from your arm, a process that takes only a couple of minutes, and most clients are finished in about fifteen. We include the doctor’s order, so you do not need anything from a physician to be seen.
Getting your results
Results are usually ready within 24 to 72 hours and post to your private, secure online portal for viewing and download, and we can fax your report to a provider if you ask. A reactive antibody screen indicates exposure to hepatitis C and should be followed by a confirmatory RNA (PCR) test to determine whether the virus is currently active. We provide the lab report only and do not diagnose or treat, so you would review a reactive result with a healthcare provider who can guide the next steps.

FAQ
Hepatitis C Test — what people ask
Specific questions about the hepatitis c test. For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
Does a positive hepatitis C antibody result mean I have an active infection?
Not by itself. A reactive antibody screen shows you have been exposed to hepatitis C at some point, but a confirmatory HCV RNA (PCR) test is needed to determine whether the virus is currently active. We provide the lab report and do not diagnose or treat, so a provider would help arrange and interpret confirmatory testing.
How soon after exposure can hepatitis C be detected?
HCV antibodies generally become detectable around eight to eleven weeks after exposure, though in some people they can take up to roughly six months to appear. Testing very early may miss a recent infection, so retesting after the window can improve confidence in a non-reactive result.
Will this test go through my insurance?
No. You pay directly at your visit, so nothing is billed to insurance and there is no insurance record of the test. Your results post only to your private, secure online portal, keeping your screening confidential.
