Is a person with reoccuring hepatitis A virus more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver?
Compared to the control of "a person with no liver issues whatsover" , the person with Hep A would be slightly more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver. However, since they are aware that they have a liver issue, the liver function and general health of the person are probably being very closely monitored. Hence if their liver function ever does present a significant problem, it will be caught early and given appropriate treatment. (They would be at a far greater risk if they were unaware they had Hep A.)

Can a person get cirrhosis of the liver after 10 years of not drinking?
Yes. Drinking doesn't automatically cause cirrhosis and stopping drinking does not automatically prevent you from getting cirrhosis; ten year's down the line, your cirrhosis may not be alcohol related (there are many other potential causes of cirrhosis). Or, there is the possibility that up to ten year's ago your liver was damaged (i.e fibroid, from drinking) but the function "declined" further at a slow rate until it became noticeable. Had you remained drinking, the decline would probably have been faster. Once your liver is fibroid (the stage before cirrhosis), it is very difficult for it to regenerate itself at a rate faster than it is degrading. Hence why, in ten year's, it might be catching up with you.

That is impossible to predict from the information we have, but if the person has been diagnosed with cirrhosis and is still drinking, it is certain that they have other health problems as well. If they do not stop drinking and get treatment, their prognosis is dire.
