Does hepatitis c infection prolongs the window period for hiv testing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are reports that this might happen from time to time. However, hepatitis C is NOT sexually transmitted between males and female, only in men who have sex with men and participate in potentially traumatic anal sex practices (i.e. blood exposure). So this never is an issue in women or non-gay men.
