Patients with chronic hepatitis C were negative for hcv-rna for 5 consecutive years. Do they need to be tested again?

Hepatitis C has been tested negative for hcv-rna for five consecutive years. If it is tested without medication, it can be considered that the virus has been completely eliminated and the disease has been completely cured. You don't have to look it up again. But only if the test is accurate. At present, the stability of reagents used to detect hepatitis C is not very satisfactory.
