I think the anser is yes. But look it up any ways.

you can look up past questions or ask one.

Hep C infection does not alter/affect the window period for HIV seroconversion in any way.

If someone had AIDS and had a very low CD4 cell count, and they were to contract HIV at that time, it may prevent the body from making antibodies and therefore extend the window period for HCV seroconversion.

I'm not a medical professional, but just in case you don't get an answer - the HIV test detects the presence of antibodies specific to HIV infection. Antibodies are produced in the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. Since the functions of these tissues are not directly tied to liver function, there would little or no effect on the time it took for HIV antibodies to show up. To be cautious, you could simply wait 45 days before getting a test to make sure you don't get a false negative.
