of course. when you discover that you are hepatitis b positive one of the tests you have to do are for HCV and HIV .
Hello, yes it is possible. It is also possible to get a false positive. I am only sharing this because when I was going to start a trial I had all of these preliminary tests done. Then when they started the trial I had to have all tests done again. I tested positive for Hep B. The doctor knew that was wrong, I was retested and it came back negative so I was able to do the trial.
When first tested in the 90's for HCV I recieved a false negative and went on until 2007 when I was dx correctly. Mistakes do happen.
I hope you don't have both.
I like the "by the house" comment that is cute :)
I'm HBV carrier but have not done HCV test and HIV test is negative
I'm HBV +ive but have not done HCV test and my HIV test is negative. its sad what HBV patient are experiencing. Initially, i only thought a HBV carrier is the only status not know they come together. its really sad. i pray i dont have such.
When does it unfold to HCV or most likely what are the warning signs?
Hbv and hcv are to different types of viruses. It is standard procedure to test hcv and hiv and hdv also when virus is discovered. Its not advancing to hcv . Also, for hcv there is a cure now, sure..is 95.000$ but it exists.
