Thread: Hepatitis C?
I have experience w/this. Mom could very well have been drug user. Or be hanging out w/drug users. The test you need taken (they can do this in Russia) is called a PCR Test. Our son had the PCR done by the time we met him. On the PCR (much more precise test) he then tested negative for hep C but positive for maternal antibodies. Meaning he could later test positive for Hep C...I think they told us to retest him over 5 years or something like that. However when we got home we retested the PCR and he tested negative for everything. Doctor told us that we don't have to retest anymore...once you get a complete negative it is negative.
I would talk to a IA doctor or ped though. I could have gotten wrong info, you never know.
