How to Book & What to Expect
- Confirm RNA status: Genotyping is done after an HCV RNA PCR detects virus. If you haven’t screened yet, start with the HCV serology test (Anti-HCV).
- Choose pickup: Share your area (e.g., Sakchi, Kadma, Mango). We’ll route the nearest phlebotomy team.
- Home collection: No fasting needed. Standard venous draw; temperature-controlled transport.
- Lab processing: RT-PCR followed by sequencing/line-probe analysis of the 5′UTR ± Core region for genotype determination.
- Report delivery: Secure PDF via WhatsApp/email; results within 48 hours after sample reaches the molecular lab.
If RNA is below assay requirements on the day of testing, the lab may advise repeating RNA quant or collection before proceeding with genotyping.
Who Should Consider HCV Genotyping?
- RNA-positive patients planning antiviral therapy and needing regimen/duration guidance.
- Cases with prior treatment or uncertain records where genotype documentation is missing.
- Clinician-advised situations (e.g., suspected re-infection or complex history).
Methodology & What Your Report Shows
Assay & thresholds (concise)
Genotyping is performed on detectable HCV RNA. In practice, labs run RT-PCR followed by sequencing/line-probe analysis of the 5′UTR ± Core region. A minimum viral load is required for reliable typing (typically ≥1,000–5,000 IU/mL, assay-dependent). If RNA is below the lab’s threshold, we’ll advise repeating RNA quant or collection before genotyping. Your report states the exact assay and any limitations.
Report components
- Genotype result: 1–6 (± subtype where available).
- Method & notes: PCR with sequencing/line-probe; any limitations or reflex recommendations.
- Next steps: Summary line to support clinician decision-making; this test is not for viral-load monitoring.

HCV Genotyping — FAQs
Do I need to be RNA-positive?
Yes. Genotyping requires detectable HCV RNA. If you haven’t done RNA testing yet, please book HCV RNA PCR.
How fast will I get my result?
Within 48 hours after your sample reaches the molecular lab (route-dependent). E-report is shared via WhatsApp/email.
Will I get a subtype?
Often yes; subtype reporting depends on the assay/platform and sample characteristics. The report specifies what was determined.
Is fasting required?
No fasting needed.
Is this a home kit?
No. This is a lab-performed test with professional collection, controlled transport, and accredited processing.
