 You will certainly want to discuss this with your doctor. I don't know the age of your son, but if he is less than 18 months old, the hepatitis C antibodies may be passed from the mother to the infant. However, that doesn't mean the infant is infected. The only way to determine that is through testing the quantity of HCV virus in his bloodstream. | ||||||||
