hello there, I have been diagnosed with Hep B  and TB about a week ago. I would like to know how likely I am to be HIV positive as I am still waiting for the result to come. The communications with the doctors here in the hospital, they don't say much. Also do get hep b first before hiv or is it the other way around.
Thanks.

useless question as for hbv only a blood test can tell, nothing else

whatever the test result is just eat fresh organic and improve your immune system, vitamin d is also a must, make it high end of normal, it can clear TB on its own or combo, it once was TB cure

Hi, hiv and hbv are independent of each other. There is no such a rule that says if someone is infected with one of them, then they will be infected with the other one. The advice to you is just to wait for the result of your hiv test, and no need to worry at all. Just take care of yourself, now that you know you've hbv and TB, use your energy and time in managing and treating these diseases instead of worrying about a percieved disease.
Good luck!
