                        Hepatitis is not usually caught sexually. The percentage rate is very low around 1%.  It is also a very slow progressing disease.  Anibodies are produced in the blood within 3 months of infection.  As to having children...mother and baby share two different blood entities..doesn't mean the baby will be infected.
