Q: if you already have hashimotos, can you still get post viral thyroiditis?

: Hashimoto is an autoimmune disease which is different from a viral infection. So these conditions may occur at the same time quite rate, I think. This is not different from a person with autoimmune hepatitis can still be infected with viral hepatitis A, B or C.
