Hepatitis C is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. Many people with Hepatitis C may have few or no symptoms in the early stages. Screening can help identify individuals who may require further medical evaluation.
The Microsidd HCV Self Test detects antibodies to HCV, which may indicate previous exposure to the virus. A positive screening result should always be confirmed using appropriate laboratory tests recommended by a healthcare professional.
The Microsidd HCV 10 Minutes Fast Self Test Kit is intended for:
Quick screening without waiting for laboratory reports.
Convenient testing from the privacy of your home.
Ideal for individual screening.
Requires only a small blood sample.
Designed for easy home use with clear instructions.
Individually sealed components for safe use.
Easy to store and carry when required.
Helps individuals decide when to seek further medical evaluation.

The Microsidd HCV Self Test is suitable for adults who wish to perform an initial home screening for Hepatitis C antibodies. Individuals with known exposure risks, or those advised by a healthcare professional to undergo screening, may find home testing convenient.
This test is not intended to replace professional medical diagnosis or routine healthcare.
The test detects antibodies to the Hepatitis C Virus (Anti-HCV) in a fingerstick blood sample.
Not necessarily. A reactive result indicates that HCV antibodies have been detected. A confirmatory laboratory test and medical evaluation are required to establish whether there is a current or past infection.
No. If exposure was recent, antibodies may not yet be detectable. If you believe you have been exposed or have symptoms, consult a healthcare professional even if the result is negative.
Results are generally available in approximately 10 minutes.
No. The test is intended for single use only.
The test uses a small fingerstick whole blood sample.
No. The kit includes instructions designed to help users perform the test at home.
No. Always check the expiry date before use. Do not use expired products.
Store in a cool, dry place and protect it from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
Consult a qualified healthcare professional promptly for confirmatory laboratory testing, medical evaluation, and appropriate guidance.
The Microsidd HCV Rapid Test is designed to detect antibodies to the Hepatitis C Virus (Anti-HCV).
This is an important distinction:
Anti-HCV Reactive ≠ HCV virus directly detected
A Reactive Anti-HCV result means antibodies to HCV have been detected. This may occur in someone with:
Current HCV infection
A previous HCV infection that cleared naturally
A successfully treated past HCV infection
Occasionally, a false-reactive screening result
Because HCV antibodies can remain detectable even after the virus is no longer present, an antibody rapid test cannot determine by itself whether HCV infection is currently active.
The usual next diagnostic question is whether HCV RNA is detectable.
Anti-HCV Reactive
→ HCV RNA Test
HCV RNA Detected
→ Current HCV infection is present
HCV RNA Not Detected
→ No current HCV infection in most circumstances

HCV Antibody vs HCV RNA: Understanding Screening, Current Infection & Follow-Up
Understand the critical difference between Anti-HCV antibody testing and HCV RNA testing, including why antibodies may remain Reactive after spontaneous clearance or successful treatment.
HCV Testing During Pregnancy & Mother-to-Child Transmission
Learn how HCV antibody and HCV RNA testing are interpreted during pregnancy and why a Reactive maternal antibody test does not automatically mean current maternal infection or infection in the baby.
HIV vs HBsAg vs HCV vs Syphilis Rapid Tests: What Does Each Test Detect?
HIV, HBsAg, HCV and syphilis rapid tests may look similar, but they detect different markers. HCV rapid screening generally detects Anti-HCV antibodies, while HBsAg detects an antigen and HIV/syphilis assays follow different testing pathways.
Important: A Reactive Anti-HCV rapid test does not establish current hepatitis C infection. Appropriate HCV RNA testing is required to determine whether HCV is currently present. Test-line darkness must not be used to estimate HCV viral load, disease severity or duration of infection.

The Microsidd HCV 10 Minutes Fast Self Test Kit is intended as a screening test for the detection of antibodies to the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Reactive or unexpected results should always be confirmed through laboratory testing and evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional. A non-reactive result does not exclude recent infection or replace clinical assessment where indicated.
