Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
Are you on anti-retroviral therapy for HIV infection?
In an HIV positive person, HAART can actually increase Heb C viral load. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
So it is very unlikely that being on HAART would lead to a negative PCR test. HAART does not work well against Hep C in general and actually increases viral load in con-infected people. It works somewhat in Hep B patients without HIV co-infection, but not to the point of an undetectable viral load.
Obviously you should ask your doctor but in this case I think it's unlikely you are hep C pos if you have a negative PCR test and a negative antibody test, regardless of your HIV status and what kind of anti-retroviral therapy you are on.

If I were you, I would ask someone who works in that field.
So heres a link to Dr. Cameron who specialize in HIV and AIDs. She is online and will answer you when you type in your question.
Good luck.
