Herrpes 2 and Hep C

If a person tested currently positive for herpes 2 and negative for hep C, but got it from a person that has both; is it possible to test positive for hep C later on provided that hep c antibodies could emerge after 3 months? In other words, could the hsv virus also carry hep C?

Hsv is a virus unto itself.

My question is exclusively asking whether the hsv2 virus, since its contracted via skin, can also carry with it other std infections such as hepatitis C that can show up in the body later on?  Meaning, can the hsv virus transmit other ailments that the other person has - apart from hsv?

someone with one virus could catch the other.  I'm fairly certain that, generally, it takes a few months longer to identify a Hep C infection that HSV2 if someone contracted both around the same time.
