    Abstract
  • Laboratory testing for hepatitis C virus （HCV） infection provides an important basis for the identification and diagnosis of patients with HCV infection. With the continuous development of HCV testing in recent years， the performance of reagents has been significantly improved， and new testing service strategies have emerged and gradually been applied in clinical practice. This article summarizes the laboratory testing methods and strategies for HCV infection in China and globally， as well as the testing methods for HCV infection， and analyzes the influence of new methods and strategies on the prevention and control of HCV infection in China. Timely and accurate laboratory testing methods and effective and feasible testing strategies may help to realize the early identification， early diagnosis， and early treatment of HCV infection and ultimately achieve the strategic goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a major public health threat by 2030.
