Hi,

HCV is not a hereditary disease, but may be transmitted from mother to bay if not properly controlled. Also, this can be sexually transmitted (prevented by use of barriers like condom) if viral load is high. here, since the PCR is negative (very low viral load), chance of sexual transmission is negligible, but we need to check this at intervals. Kindly discuss this in detail with your doctor as we need to take some precautions.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
