Wall of Stories Snapshots
Together our stories can change the way the world sees viral hepatitis.
The stories of those living with or impacted by viral hepatitis can help
educate and raise awareness, provide support and inspiration, tackle
stigma and discrimination, and highlight the true impact of this global
disease. Share your story here.
As people with real life experiences of viral hepatitis making up a large
part of the delegation at the World Hepatitis Summit, we took the
opportunity to film some of their stories.

to wait for the test to see if she was
hep C positive.”
