Our daughter tested positive for Hep. C antibodies. From the research I did antibodies does not mean the child has the Hep. C. She ran a 4% risk of developing Hep. C. Someone posted a slightly higher % than that, but my research said 4%. Emily showed not antibodies by 12mths. I also remember reading that she will now be immune to Hep. C (kind of like an immunization), but should not donate blood. I don't know if HIV would be the same and there are different strains of it. I wouldn't think that the information would be too different for Hep. B. I did a lot of searching on the internet.

Anyone in the medical community that has differing information please correct me if I'm wrong.
