transmission Hep C to infant Oct 16, 2011 A family friend who has Hep C was holding my baby girl. She started sucking on his hand(she is teething and chews on everything!). I noticed later that he had a small cut on his hand (the cut was not fresh though). What are the chances that my baby could get Hep C? Should she be tested? I am beyond worried. Thanks. |

 I would not consider this a risk for your baby and do not recommend testing. | ||||||||
