I and my baby (3 months) antibodies to hepatitis C, I know that up to 2 years is impossible to determine the presence of virus in the child, the question of a follow-if I give up breastfeeding (mk when the baby teeth will there is a risk that there will be blood and the baby may be infected) Even during the first feeding in the hospital were cracked nipples (what is the risk of infection in this case?)

Respond Tatyana Stepanova, a gastroenterologist, hepatologist If you have not found HCV RNA in the blood, the cause for concern. If RNA is detected, the breast-feeding is not recommended. Similar question: What does the blood have antibodies for hepatitis C, but the virus is not found?
