You can have children have children of course,is it safe?Well pregnancy is not contraindicated in hepatitis C infected women, as the perinatal transmission from mother-to-baby occurs in less than six percent of all cases.Babies born to positive mothers should be tested for anti-HCV one year after birth. So in most case yes it should be safe!

It is under 5% chance of the baby contracting hep C in the western world. Blood to blood contact only occurs within the birthing process - there is no sharing of blood via the placenta. So it is considered low risk.There is a risk of birth defects if the mother was/is on ribavirin, one of the drugs used in the treatment of hep C. Please be aware of that.Also, all babies born to hep C positive mothers will contain hep C antibodies for the first 18-24 months of life, so there is no point in testing the baby until after that time period. After this, only the babies with hep C active in their blood will show antibodies.

If a man or a woman has HIV, of course they can still have a baby, but theres no point becuase, not only can the child die young of aids, but the main problem is, even if the chil does not die, the HIV will definatley be passed onto that child. FROM THE MINUTE ITS BORN.
