Hepatitis: Did you know?

Did you know that Hepatitis is more infectious than HIV? 500 million people are infected with Hepatitis and it is 100 times more infectious than HIV. 1.5 million People die each year from Hepatitis and the main reason is because they are unaware that they are infected with this truly “silent killer”.

One in three people have been exposed to either Hepatitis B or C or both and are unaware of the risks involved. This disease is very serious and with treatments and vaccines available it’s not hard to get sorted. Get yourself to your doctors if you think you could be at risk. One in twelve people are infected with the disease so you could be number 12! The main question being posed by this year’s World Hepatitis Day is “Am I Number 12?” If you want to sign up and support this good cause then visit www.aminumber12.org.
