can hepatitis C cause a false positive on a

drug test?

[melzy]

I believe that it can. Cause I failed a test one time and before they told me that I had failed it, they ask me about Hep C.

hep c doesn't show on a drug test. it is possible to get a false reading on a blood test, but very unlikely. if it is positive, they will normally do a quantative number, and that's not a false reading.btw, questions about hep c in regards to positive drug tests probably has to do with concern about your health if you are on drugs.... hep c is spread by blood transmission and is incurable and life threatening.
