My husband was infused with blood in 1995 due to an accident. So in 2011 he was vomiting blood when got tests did we got to know that he has hepatitis c. So the doctors prescribed us to test his wife and children so in 2012 we got tested and the reports were negative. So, should we test again for it?

No there is no need for your wife and children for hepatitis c testing. You yourself take full treatment of hepatitis c infection. Now a days usually 3 months effective course for hepatitis c is given.
