Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis C in Adult Children of Female Baby Boomers
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Eligibility Screening and HCV test for Hepatitis C and Hepatitis C, Chronic. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.

Timeline
Interventions
Investigators will call eligible mothers to screen for the possibility that eligible mothers may have passed HCV on to adult children. Investigators will consent these mothers to contact the adult child(ren), as the child(ren) must be informed of the mother's HCV status, if not already known.
Adult children will be invited to Penn or a Penn affiliate to have labwork, testing HCV antibody and HCV quant. If the quant comes back positive, investigators will also test genotype and fibrosure.
