Just Diagnosed

Will having HIV affect my hepatitis C treatment?

No. But being coinfected means medications to treat hepatitis C don't work quite as well in you. Still, the drugs are successful 30-75% of the time. Working closely with your doctor will give you the best chance for successful treatment.
