makes me wonder if she has HIV or hepatitis C from her earlier illegal drug use making her sick...

Where did you get that she had earlier injected illegal drugs? The only way to get HepC or HIV by drug use is by contaminated needles, correct?

You have no evidence she has either one of those diseases nor do you know if she has a history of injecting illegal drugs, now do you?

No. You can get it from feces, blood, etc.
