Brief Answer:
Yes, it is very accurate!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Rapid HCV testing is very accurate. It is able to tell in at least 99% of persons who are HCV infected that they are for sure infected. If you wish, you may provide the exact test brand and I will provide you with the exact details of this test.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
