A member asked:
Can you tell me the prognosis for hiv and hep b patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: As you know there is no cure for hepatitis B, but it can be mild or very aggressive and that is hard to predict. HIV is not technically cureable, but good treatment can keep it in control and the prognosis can be very good as long as you take your medicine.
