ABSTRACT
Workup Any woman with anti-HCV (HCV IgG) antibody should have HCV RNA viral load; hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis A antibody; liver function testing; HIV screening; gastroenterology referral; STD screening. Vaccination against HAV and/or HBV should be administered if the woman is nonimmune for either or both, to avoid the comorbidities of superimposed hepatitis viral infections, which can be substantial.
