A member asked:
Can having chronic hepatitis b mean that i most likely have hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely NOT: They are 2 completely separate infections. I would recommend getting tested for HIV as if present, prognosis for hep b is worse. But there are lots of people with just chronic hep b infection. It is not so bad as long as you get regular f/u and treatment if liver affected.
