| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Liver cancer can be related to a primary cancer somewhere else. Sometimes liver cancer is the primary cancer and it is caused by hepatitis B or hepatitis C. I would simply make sure you have been tested for those two viruses. Fatty liver is common in the US population in general - not just in HIV patients. Dr. M | ||||||||
