   Drug treatments used for HIV / AIDS may interact with drugs used to treat hemophilia. Some drugs may affect clotting time, and should not be used. Talk to your doctor or nearest hemophilia group to see if any drugs you are taking can harm your health. In particular, you should avoid Aspirin (ASA).

Many people with hemophilia, and some people who have had transfusions, may be infected with hepatitis C and should therefore consider the effect of any therapy on liver function. A hematologist and a hepatology specialist should be consulted.
