Are you worried?

World Hepatitis Day is drawing closer and the question this year is "Am I Number 12?" This question is posed because one in twelve people are infected with Hepatitis B or C. It is a worrying fact that one in twelve people have the disease and it can be more worrying when you read about how you can become infected.

Worrying has never solved anything though, so do the right thing and if you think you are at risk then get tested. World Hepatitis Day is entirely patient run and is in aid of creating a heightened awareness of the disease.
