Thank you again Alan for sharing your story and updating us. Check out our fireside chat with Alan at https://lnkd.in/gcBxp98N. Thank you Hepatitis B Foundation for your work on this.
Many of Alan's immediate family members passed away due to #LiverCancer, but it wasn’t until he became ill that the family realized the role #hepatitisB played in these deaths. Alan talks about how #stigma prevents open discussion about the virus. #justBproactive Alan's story?? https://lnkd.in/eCGhQ9Nj He encourages others to: ?get involved ?speak out ?tell your story ?talk to your family members ?ask them if they've been tested [for #hepB] ?get vaccinated #EndHepBdiscrimination #EndHepBstigma

We need to fight Stigma and discrimination around hepatitis B. Check out this article.
??NEW JOURNAL?? Call to Action: The Urgent Need to End Hepatitis B Stigma and Discrimination – [Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology] ??We call on governments at all levels to institute and enforce anti-discrimination protections for people with #hepatitisB. We also call on the scientific and clinical community, and civil society, to align and demand action to protect the lives of people living with hepatitis B worldwide. ??Global elimination of #hepB demands that we protect and ensure the human rights of all people living with hepatitis B, as well as those at risk and the communities affected.
