A member asked:
How likely is hiv and hepatitis to coinfect from the same exposure? is it true that it prolongs the window period for hiv tests up to a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only hepatitis C virus is said to interact with HIV, and HCV is sexually transmitted only among men having sex with men (and even then, it's uncommon). Interference of one virus with testing for the other is very rare. Getting both at the same time is rare too. Find an experienced doctor or clinic for in-person evaluation. good luck.
