Pricey, but the only Medichecks test measuring viral load
Measures the amount of hepatitis C virus in your blood, known as viral load, to gauge how active an infection is or track response to treatment. Suits people who have already tested positive for hepatitis C rather than those checking for first exposure.
Same £145 price, less detail than the Antibodies test

Can be taken sooner after exposure, at a higher price

Instant hepatitis C result, pricier than most options
A rapid finger-prick test for hepatitis C antibodies, taken and read at a Better2Know clinic, giving a result within minutes rather than waiting for a lab-based test.
Priciest Hepatitis C test in our comparison group
A single blood test that measures the amount of Hepatitis C virus in your blood, for people who already have a confirmed infection and want to track their viral load rather than screen for the virus for the first time.
