And yes if your boy does cut or puncture himself then there is a chance of contraction the virus and it could most likely effect a growing liver worse then a adult one I'm not a doctor but you no take care

I would tell them both to get help for it if your American then it sounds like then newer treatments are really good and don't take as long you should tell your bf to pull his head in as well his kid should be his first priority maybe give him an choice stop what your doing or leave I'm not judging you but a child is a blessing and the child didn't ask to be brought into this world so its your responsibility to protect him it must be hard keep your head up

Oh my gosh!

I agree with can-do, I wouldn't be as concerned with your son getting hep c. However I would worry about your son getting into the drugs or many other things. To many scenarios going through my mind and non of them have hep c in them. Not sure what website JimmyMose posted, but try anything to get out of the situation your in.
Good luck Marie!

This sounds like a disaster in the making. I would suggest you get your son out of this situation ASAP. I would be worried about a number of things besides Hep C... Good luck
