Hepatitis C
My mother died in April this year because of liver failure due to Hepatitis C. My father is also diagnosed positive for Hepatitis C. I went for a HCV investigation for myself to a private hospital without any prescription. The test performed was HCV by CHEMILUMINESCENCE in January 2019, the result was 0.02 non- reactive. Is this test sufficient?

Yes this is 99% sensitive test. To increase sensitivity repeat test from another lab.
FURTHER AND ADDITIONAL TESTS MAY BE NEEDED DEPENDING ON VARIOUS FACTORS.
