[|Human|] my mother has hepatitis c which we just found out after she had an uper gi bleed out in september. she has had hep c since the 70s because of a blood transfussion she had with the birth of her twin girls all these years no hospital has ever detected it she had me in 88  and now im worried that i might have contracted it and tonight my son was playing with her he will be 2 in june. she was wearing a jacket and he bit her on the arm later on when she took her jacket off we noticed that he had broke the skin. we checked the jacket and looked at her arm she didnt bleed alot just like if you had a paper cut..... is there a chance that he could contract hep c
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor Service.  I reviewed your query and here is my answer. No, he wouldn't have got hepatitis c, as hepatitis is transmitted through blood or sexual intercourse only. If he had bitten her, so there is no bleeding or only a little, but there is jacket between arm and mouth, so no blood would have been entered in his mouth or there will be a little which would have no significance. So there is no need to worry about, and your baby will be safe. Hope I answered your question.  Feel free to ask more if you have any doubt. Thanks.
