 I dont think cellulitis have been described as a problem in any case of chronic hepatitis C.There are many,but rare, extrahepatic manifestations as arthitis,myalgias ,eye disorders etc.You have a genotype that responds much better than 1,and a greater risk to develop cirrhosis because the hiv coinfection.You should expect the best resuls with peg-interferon and ribavirin.I suggest to you to check also the data on safety and adverse effects,when you select the peg to use. | ||||||||
