| Response from Dr. Dieterich
 No one is hepatitis infected from taking the medications. You cannot contract viral hepatitis from meds. About 15% of all HIV patients are infected with HBV and about 40% are infected with HCV, none from taking medications. Medications can cause hepatitis which means inflammation of the liver not related to viruses. DTD | ||||||||
