A member asked:
Will getting herpes while already having hep c potentially make the hepatitis worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you already have hepatitis c infection, herpes outbreaks will likely not be more frequent or last longer. And, there is no evidence that herpes makes the scarring with hepatitis c worse. Each should be evaluated on their own.
