Hepatitis Co-Infection
An article presented at the Canadian Hepatitis Education Council stated there are now more then twenty known genotypes (subspecies) of HCV. If you had Hepatitis C (HCV) in the past, there is no guarantee you won't become reinfected with a different HCV genotype. Even if you are one of the fortunate people whose body has cleared one genotype, there is no guarantee your body can clear another one.
Having had Hepatitis A (HAV) or Hepatitis B (HBV) does NOT protect you from getting Hepatitis C (HCV). Even if you have been vaccinated for HAV and/or HBV, you are NOT protected from getting HCV.
