A member asked:
If a male is hep c positive and the female is hep c negative, can they have a hep c negative child together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small Chance: This is possible, since the hepatitis virus can be transmitted from the man to the woman via unprotected sex (which would be needed for pregnancy). The risk of hep c being transmitted from mother to child is about 7-8%, though this is higher if the mother is also hiv-positive.
