Hep C and HIV coinfection Nov 9, 2011 Hi, If after an intercourse, someone gets infected with Hepatitis C and HIV at the same time, does the window period for antibody test changes for such a person or is 3 months after the exposure still sufficient? Thanks! |

 Hi there: The only time that the three month window would change would be if there was a known exposure to Hep C and HIV and the person developed Acute Hep C infection. Then and only then, would the window period change 12 months. This topic has been discussed in-depth in this forum. Please see Dr. Bob's expanded answers on this topic: Hep C & HIV Co-infection In health, Richard | ||||||||
