NATIONAL HEPATITIS AWARENESS MONTH

May is National Hepatitis Awareness Month. Do you know your Hepatitis B status? Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, and is increasingly seen in African immigrants. AFAHO recently found a 13% HBV infection rate in Africans tested in the greater Philadelphia area. Many infected people do not know their status and we want to make sure we test and vaccinate as many people as possible. Call AFAHO today if you want to get tested for Hepatitis B! Knowledge is Power.
