Brief Answer:
Please, what's your main concern!

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

It is difficult to tell what the main worry is from your question. However, a few things can be said:

1. Your are most likely HCV negative and the positive result is more of a false positive result. Controlling in another laboratory is all that is needed.

2. Excess alcohol is not good. This might explain the out of normal range for the attached liver results. I encourage you to drop this consumption to minimal levels.

I hope this helps. I will like more precision on your worry if it has not been addressed directly. Otherwise, feel free to ask for more clarifications.
