I was exposed to hiv and hepatitis c positive blood a while ago, my antibody tests remained negative out through 6 months.  But I continue to have symptoms, including an odd feeling in my liver and what seems to be a lump at the bottom of my liver right under my rib cage.  Is it possible that hiv infection could delay the production of hepatitis c antibodies longer than 6 months?
Hi, dear thanks for the query to my Chat Doctor virtual online clinic. My diagnosis-Chronic active hepatitis with enlarged tender heaptomegaly-The lump you feel below rt rib cage is of the tender enlarged liver, which needs care with expert doctor. Would advise you to consult ER-physician and Get the Hepatitis C vaccine-as a preventive treatment. Treatment would be--Good diet with bland and non-spicy non-oily food, Rest 8 hrs a day, home food only, avoid street food. And continued followup if the symptoms persist. Hope this would solve your query. Wellcome to my Chat Doctor clinic once again. Have a Good Day.
