 Dear Bob, Hepatitis C is a form of viral hepatitis that affects several million Americans and is particularly common among persons living with HIV. This is not the place to go into a long discussion. It is a chronic disease, and deciding whether someone needs treatment and when is a complicated process. There is a forum on HIV and opportunistic infections here on The Body where many similar questions have been posted. There is alos an excellent website that has a lot of information for patients and providers on HIV and hepatitis C at www.natap.org www.natap.org | ||||||||
