This point is mute since you have insurance.
I know I've read of free clinics, who will test for HCV , like I implied
check with your county hospital.
The point is Don't donate blood to see if you have HCV.

i'm sorry but here in so. cal. the blood test is not free. there are a lot of people in my community that can't afford it. i know for a fact it's only $45 but they are poor people. a lot of them are migrant workers, working in the flower fields. everyone deserves a chance to find out if they are infected with this horrible disease. belle
yes, he did and he is a top liver transplant doctor here in so. cal. he told me that the cost holds a lot of people back. and he told me that hcv is a silent epidemic and he's fearful for the future of many baby boomers! belle
The blood tests have always been covered by my particular insurance,
probably because I work around bodily fluids, and my Union fights for this kind of thing. I am very thankful of that fact.
I am thinking that the Abt meds (Aviator Study) that my Hubs took for 12 weeks, which were completely Interferon Free, would work well on a teen, if Tx were needed.
I was reading that teens have a higher chance of suicidal ideation, from
the Interferon, than adults do. I already have an older child with a severe mood-disorder, who is frequently hospitalized for her depression.
I am going to hope for the best, and plan for the worst. If one on my younger ones tests positive, then I dont think I would go for a biopsy, right off. I would try a Fibro-Test, and do we have a Fibro-scan available here in the U.S. yet?
My 21 yr old was tested by my Family Practice, when she turned 16 yrs old. Perhaps they tested her then, because she was asking about Birth Control, not sure. After reading up on childhood Hep C, I am noticing fibrosis getting more common, the older the minor child is, so I plan on getting my sons tested soon.
I did notice there are cases of spontaneous clearing, up until 5 yrs of age, when I read the links in the above posts. I hope when Luvbug has her son tested again, at that age, that he will also be clear.
