Is a child (teenager) at risk of contracting Hepatitis from father?

by Tomarse, Feb 06, 2009 05:22AM
Hi everybody.

I have a friend whom her father was recently diagnosed with Hepatitis (not sure which hepatitis). Her mother does not carry any Hepatitis virus as far as I know.

According to her, her father contracted the virus from her grandmother (her father's mother). What's the risk that she contract Hepatitis from her father in such a case?

I thank you in advance for your help.
