I had planned to get this message out 2 days ago and got bogged down, then
went to the library and was glad I waited!

No need to reiterate what L. Gartner shared about Hep A and Hep B. I simply
wnated to add that there are some recent papers (one in J Pediatr and one
in Lancet) that also conclude Hep C is not a probelm fro the babies of
mothers positive for it.

Hope this, too, helps, Ted.  If you want specific references, call me
privately and I will get them to you.
