HEPATITIS C COMMUNITY
Infant born with antibodies to Hep C

Infant born with antibodies to Hep C

Hi friends, has anyone heard of babies being born with the antibodies to Hep C, and then subsequent tests showing up negative to the virus?  There have been two negative tests, but our adoption pediatrician thinks they are negative because the child is malnourished.  Any thoughts or leads on articles would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, L'Anna

I'm thinking of adopting unborn baby whose mother is addicted to morphine & has hepatitis C. I've read 50/50 chance for baby. did your baby's birth mom have C-section to prevent transmission? I'm hoping your baby had antibodies to the virus which protected it from developing the virus. since 03, what was the outcome?how is your baby?
