Hiv And Hepatitis C

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

The person who infected me was a drug user also. So far it’s been 7 months since diagnosis I have hiv but so far I’ve been hep c negative. My doctor said 6 months after possible infection if I test negative for hep c I’m in the clear anyone concur with that. Also I heard hep c and hiv don’t play well together but I heard hep c can be cured?

A myHIVteam Member

Did you ask your Doctor to do a Hep C viral load test Brad ? You then dont have to wait 6 months to see if you have contracted it or not.
