Faces of Hepatitis

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 5.3 million Americans are infected with chronic hepatitis, and most people don't know they are infected. The Viral Hepatitis Action Coalition is presenting Faces of Hepatitis as part of a larger effort to help CDC raise awareness about the disease and who is at risk. These short videos tell the stories of people affected by hepatitis – individuals living with Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C, their families and loved ones, healthcare providers and community advocates. Faces of Hepatitis helps illustrate that viral hepatitis is not just one story, or face or voice, but many.

You may also submit your own story [2] as a short written story or a link to a video.
