AHF Online Hepatitis B Education Now Available!

But many with chronic hepatitis B are unaware of their disease status, which can result in an increased likelihood of virus transmission and fewer treatment options with poorer outcomes. Experts in hepatitis B discuss the importance of testing for HBV and treatment of chronic hepatitis B so patients can “be there” for their families.
