The doctors may not tell you this but yes it does cause impotence.  Interferon also has long term side effects the medical community isn't talking about.  My husband when through 3 series of interferon/ribraviran. None of which worked but has caused him to continue to have long term side effects so bad he hasn't been able to go back to work since 2001.  ( he was a director of operations for a multimillion dollar telecommunications company)
