When I went in to have them, they done blood work, the blood work said I was hepC negative. I am confused. Thank you soo much, Signed Concerned. Hepatitis C is a different virus from the HIV or aids virus. None of these viruses, can change into the other.
Many patients are confused, because both viruses can coexist, in a single patient.
The test that you most likely had, was the HCV antibody test. If it is positive,it means that you were infected with the virus,but you will need another test to check if you cleared the virus or not. If you were negative when you had your children,you did not had any possibility of transmission of HCV to them.
