Wow sorry no one is answering this. I actually have no idea but off hand I am thinking there are so many origins to ED that probably understanding how ED itself works might be the place to start.

Well i am not sure the virus itself would be a cause since many of us have it for years and have no problems. Once the liver gets in bad shape then there can be problems, also people with diabetes can can suffer from ED. Unless your cirrhotic I would just guess to say it would be more of the diabetes....... Also remember there are many other things that can cause this....... Good luck
