Hi OH, BO here~ (heh)
I did a tad bit of research, and found this study to be interesting:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2151778/
Conclusion
Most children chronically infected with HCV are asymptomatic and present only mild biochemical evidence of hepatic injury. Spontaneous clearing of the virus occurs occasionally. Autoantibodies are common in HCV patients. The natural history of chronic hepatitis C in children differs from that in adults since HCV infection is relatively benign, induces mild changes in the liver with a low level of fibrosis and a low rate of progression and is rarely associated with severe or decompensate liver disease.
I think I will get a CBC and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel on them
though...good looking out, Oh. If something abnormal comes up, I will have them tested. I can definitely see the 12 wk Sofosbuvir Tx very doable, for a teen. But I am glad the chance is only 6%.
I went to a High Risk O.B., for my last 3 pregs, after finding out I was Hep C positive. The births were very healthy, no cuts on the babies, etc, although it is still a mystery how Hep C is transmitted maternally.
This is a large Forum, full of Hep C pos Moms...anybody else here planning on having their children tested?

My kids were tested as soon as I was diagnosed and neither of them has it.
Although it's understandable to feel bad if you passed it on to another person, if you weren't aware that you had it, well then you are simply making yourself feel bad about something that cannot be changed.
I think it's important to test them, simply for their medical records.
BO: Don't you think you should know if they had an accident, for example?

Hello I was wanting 2 talk bout telling the schools, my sons hep Dr said up 2 us parents 2 tell, he said lots people dnt think the right stuff bout it, I got my son test asap so we'd know, but only like 4 people in our life know, I dnt want my son treated wrong cuz something I did, life is crazy enuff, I'm sry 4 ur lose, as soon as he can n treated & his Dr say we r gonna treat it will b a while since he is only 3,
Thank you for sharing your story with me, and I am so very sorry for your losses, both brother and son, words cannot express, of course.
I didn't have Hep C, when I gave birth to my now 30 yr old, be he did mention that he used my razor once, so I need to have another conversation with him, concerning how he needs to go and get tested, I have kept him updated on my Tx and subsequent SVR status, and his step-dad has just now finished a much easier Tx, so I need to broach the subject again.
I do bring the younger two children to my Hep C Support Group, where my Tx Doctor leads a very educational seminar, about subjects such as Hep C transmission, so they are aware not to share things like finger-nail clippers, razors, or any blood swapping dare-devil stunts, such as "blood-brothers" finger prick.
I am planning on getting them tested, in the near future, and I feel that everybody should have a Hep C Antibody test, say, every 6 yrs. The test is inexpensive, and we have clinics here in NorCal, that give a free Hep C antibody test.

Boce girl , simply not true , taking 20 years to manifest .
Not one bit. Im not here to argue, but this statement is false.
I am a mother who did not pass HCV , rather Hemophilia to my son
in turn, through blood products in the early eighties he got HCV.
My brother also got Aids, HCV, HPV, also hemophiliac.
My brother suffered greatly, managed as well as possible, died in my arms.
He was Thirty.
My son died at 26 from HCV. He could have treated his Junior year
but he elected not to. I wish he would have. Maybe he would still be here.
He had symptoms early on, I just did not know right away . He was tired a lot for a child and young adult and was itching forever. These are just a few.
Please, no harm done to get a blood test, you need to know if nothing else
to protect other children from possible exposure.Though hard to get , unless blood to blood. it is possible with crazy things children do.
Yes , I spread the word to schools, etc..... since my son would bleed internally and externally at the drop of a hat, I had the responsibility to keep my daughter and other children safe. Once my son was old enough he knew, not to fool around with blood, to,clean up etc.
In addition, other things can happen not just the liver.
Good luck to you, and your children .
Please everyone needs to be tested!!!! it is THAT IMPORTANT

Im just going to a$$ume here (which I will probably be chastised for not siting my sources) that the OP may not know what "HCV-induced lymphomagenesis" is or what "mutation of tumor suppressor genes, caused by a transiently intracellular virus" is. She was simply asking "was there any women that passed HCV to there children"....and was looking for support.
Your definitely entitled to write whatever you want and challenge whatever data you feel inaccurate.... as Im entitled to point out that your argument has nothing to do with the OP's question. Sorry if my statement of being a MH censor sounded hypocritical....maybe my choice of words wasn't right....my bad.
