Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis C in Adult Children of Female Baby Boomers
Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis C in Adult Children of Female Baby Boomers
The investigators aim to determine the prevalence of hepatitis C in the adult children of
 female baby boomers. During the years baby boomers were becoming pregnant, hepatitis C
 testing was either not available or was not standard of care. Because of this, participants'
 children may be unaware of participants' risk of hepatitis C.
