Mother pasted HepC during child birth
I just wonder if there were. Any women that passed their hep 2 there child during broth, I feel like a piece of crap that my son. Has 2 live w this,I luv my son wish this I could change 4 him
This forum can be awesome at times...and others its just sad. People will make mistakes in there posts.....it happens...but why do threads have to get off topic so people can play MH censor. It doesn't make any sense to me. Yeah, I know....its about the "integrity" of the forum....but what about those newly diagnosed people scared to post because they are afraid they will say the wrong thing and get corrected....harshly. It took me almost a year to finally get the guts to post a question because of that reason...so what if someone knows more than the next person...what about those folks who no NOTHING.
Heres the OP's question
"I just wonder if there were. Any women that passed their hep 2 there child during broth, I feel like a piece of crap that my son. Has 2 live w this,I luv my son wish this I could change 4 him"
I myself have no clue what the answer is. But hopefully someone will come along and help this lady out without all the "EXTRAS"

I'm not sure it would benefit a child, from a psychological stand-point, to
begin their Middle School yrs with the knowledge that they have the Hep C virus, Asle?
Can you explain to me why you feel it to be necessary for us to know now, rather when they are a bit older, say..16 yrs old? If testing for all people became mandatory, and a law, then I would do so.
When HIV first came out, Activists fought hard for the rights of people who were suffering with that virus, to avoid situations where discrimination could crop up. The Hep C community hasn't grouped together and organized as strongly~

I'm getting a little tired of these over the top, spurious and pulled out of a hat comments that seem to be proliferating lately. Not just by you, but there are others.
It's just not true that
" It takes 20 yrs for Hep C symptoms to manifest".
It may take 20 years from infection to symptomatic liver disease, which is very different.
"Hepatitis C infection is rarely diagnosed in its early stages. It is often not recognized until its chronic stages, when it has caused severe liver disease. Hepatitis C infection is often referred to as the “the Silent Epidemic,” because a typical cycle of the disease from infection to symptomatic liver disease may take as long as 20 years."
It MAY take as long as 20 years, it may take longer. Or it may take much less than 20 years.

" I havent had my 11 and 13 yr old tested yet, because there are new meds coming out, within the next few yrs, that are much easier (less side effects) then what is currently available."
" I was thinking to get them tested in their teens, and if they test positive, to have them Treat with 2nd generation PI's, which should be available in a couple years hopefully. "
I don't know why you have to wait for new meds to come out.
It's just a simple blood test that will give you and your 2 youngest the answer once and for all.
Thanks, Mike. But I don't think they Treat children,who are without symptoms, with the current Triple treatment.
I was thinking to get them tested in their teens, and if they test positive, to have them Treat with 2nd generation PI's, which should be available in a couple years hopefully.
If our Family Practice had suggested it, I definitely would have gotten them tested.. They have known of my Hep C, for the last 20 some odd yrs, and suggested we test my daughter at age 16 yrs, which we did.(she was negative for-)
If my children were showing any symptoms, which were indicative of Hep C or NHL, I would most definitely get them tested, asap. They dont play contact sports in school, so that is not a concern, either.

Yes, I should of said liver scarring symptoms~
this is from the CDC website:
What are the long-term effects of Hepatitis C?
Of every 100 people infected with the Hepatitis C virus, about
75–85 people will develop chronic Hepatitis C virus infection; of those,
60–70 people will go on to develop chronic liver disease
5–20 people will go on to develop cirrhosis over a period of 20–30 years
1–5 people will die from cirrhosis or liver cancer
