Thread: Hepatitis C?
The actual presense of Hep C is a whole lot different than the presense of antibodies. The disease itself is not pretty, and you should learn all you can before accepting the referral of a child with the actual virus... I have heard there there are some false positives pretty often, so it is worthwhile to have a retest.
Mom may not have been a drug user. The disease is sexually transmitted as well, and could also have come from tainted blood products, although that is less likely these days.
I hope everything will look brighter once you have the test results, and have time to read up so you can be well-informed.
Best wishes!
