There is no way to make the antibody test negative. Even if you clear the virus yourself (about 20 per cent of people do) or if you successfully cure the hep C with peginterferon and ribavirin, the antibody test will still show positive.

well, that is stupid of the goverment then as hcv, is not spread by any way except for blood. it is not contagious any other way.
there IS a cure for hepatitis c and your genotype has a lot to do with how well you would respond to treatment, but if you ask your doctor for antiviral chemotherapy and remain "sustained" for a year or more post antiviral chemo, a person and his doctor will tell you that you are cured.
after responding to treatment, you will always test positive for antibodies, however, the active parts of the virus are dead.
ask your doctor!

No there's no way you can do that. Your liver enzymes are way out of whack. Have you received any treatments for this chronic disease? I would not suggest you go to Saudi Arabia. My suggestion is SEE A DOCTOR.

Why would you even want to do something like that? These precautions are put in to place for your protection and the protection of others.

Get yourself treated, with pegylated interferon and ribavirin.
