Is a negative hiv person, diagnosed with low lymphocytes t4 and t8 cells, still able to produce hcv antibodies after 1 year of one possible exposure ?

Yes: Plenty of people naturally run relatively low lymphocytes, though it's good to try to find why. If this person isn't making antibodies after a year, consider yourself healthy, though if you or your physician are concerned, you can get a pcr for the virus.

Hi Dr. CMV/HCV co-infection with HIV delays seroconversion. How common is this? Would 4th Gen HIV test detect P24 antigen in this case, at Day 30 post exposure even if there is a delayed antibody response? Thanks?
