Campaign Background
\nChronic hepatitis B is a serious liver disease that represents one of the greatest health disparities within the Asian American community. Of the 2 million people living with hepatitis B in the United States, more than half are Asian American. Alarmingly, as many as two-thirds of Asian Americans with hepatitis B don’t know they are infected, which creates an urgent need for greater hepatitis B screening and education. B HERE encourages young Asian Americans to become advocates within their communities, helping to raise awareness of this silent disease and to get themselves and their families tested for hepatitis B. The campaign is sponsored by Gilead Sciences, a leading maker of medicines for chronic hepatitis B, with support from campus partner the Korean Students Association. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
