Hi, it would be wise for your wife and child to have a blood test to be screened for the hepc. You have been diagnosed as having the virus, but have no idea for how long you have had it? I would recommend you wife and child having the blood test to make certain they do not test positive as well. I have a very good friend, who has had hep c for years. She is an rn and believed she contracted it when working in hte hospital, years before her 23 year old son was even born. Yet, she had him tested as well as her husband. Both were free of the hepc, but its better to be safe than sorry. I wish you all the lick in the world with the treatments. I know lots of people wiht hepc and they are doing wonderul! Take care of yourself! Keep us posted!

Thanks for you kind word .Yes we will be testing my wife and son.I think I got this in my late teens but only found out now.Until I know my family is negative the guilt is the worst part.
