Here is a reference for a published letter in response to an article that 
recommended no BF with cracks or bleeding:

Riordan,J. HEPATITIS C.[Letter] Am J Nurs 100(12):13, 2000.
I disagree with Kathleen Bockhold's statement that "HCV-positive mothers 
should abstain from breastfeeding if their nipples are cracked or bleeding." The 
many studies of HCV-positive women breastfeeding their infants surely must 
have examined some mothers with cracked or even bleeding nipples-yet there 
is no demonstrated increase in HCV transmission in breastfed infants.
