Hepatitis B Stories

Welcome to the Hepatitis B Foundation’s storytelling website, where we share genuine stories from real people living with hepatitis B worldwide. Storytelling provides a way to empower and connect people living with or affected by hepatitis B and helps put a human face on this serious disease. The goals of sharing stories from real people with lived experiences of hepatitis B are to increase awareness and advocacy, decrease stigma and discrimination, and promote testing, vaccination, linkage to care, and treatment to help save lives.
