I have a friend who recently found out she is pregnant. She is worried that she might have hepatitis C. Would this show up in her routine blood test during her pregnancy?

I am a 51 year old man who has been on a disability income from the Government since the 1980s. I have had multiple spinal surgeries for an injury during my twenties, and have been left with metal pins permanently supporting my spinal column and severe spinal pain.
I was also diagnosed in the 1980s with HCV (Hepatitis C, a chronic disease of the liver). I live with this disease, and am much better of than many who suffer from it, but I am on a treatment plan that requires the constant monitor of my health and function by a liver specialist.
I have a mortgage payment every month, along with electric, gas and water bills. I am not frivolous-- I have the cheapest cricket phone plan, no land line, and no cable.
Here is my problem:
My monthly disability income does not even fully pay my monthly mortgage payment.
I am in collection over old co-payments I was unable to pay to doctor's offices, and for credit cards from years ago.
I have a car, which I need in order to get myself to and from my multiple doctor's appointments each month, and no money to put gas in its tank. I have applied for food stamps, and was warded $14 dollars a month. I do not in any way mean to have an ungrateful attitude-- but $14 dollars is simply not enough to live on.
For my adult life, I have been a working artist, which is a career that has certainly earned its ups and downs, and isn't appreciably stable in nature. I have still managed to make ends (barely) meet, and to put that extra $100 dollars into my mortgage payment, pay the house insurance, the bills, and to live frugally.
As I get older, I am finding this lifestyle more difficult to uphold. No one is buying art at this time, with the current economy. And I am unable to work as I used to. There are days when i am all but unable to get out of bed because of the weakness, fever, and pain that is a part of HCV and chronic cirrhosis.
I have Government medical insurance, but I still must pay a co-pay to my doctor every two weeks, and even this $25 dollar sum I am consistently unable to pay.
For the past couple of months, my daughter and ex-wife have been helping me to supplement my bill payments. There's no way that can continue, however. My daughter is worried about job stability, and has begun to slide into the red with her financial situation. She can't help me at the expense of her own debts and bills.
My ex wife simply cannot and will not persist in helping to alleviate these debts.
All I want is to survive, at this point, and in any way possible, to keep my home. It is all I have.
If my mortgage payment exceeds the totality of my actual income every month, is there any way to adjust this without losing my home?
If I were even physically able to get work, all of my medical insurance would be cut off, and I can't survive without medical insurance.
Any help would be very, very greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I am an engineer and got a job offer from one of the oil gas companies (ADNOC Group) in Abu Dhabi. I am positive with HCV but PCR report is negative (means no virus only antibodies). Will I be accepted by company based upon pre-employment medical check-up and there will be no issue with work permit for my job category. Request a quick reply. Thanks in advance.
