Hepatitis B and C are the leading causes of liver cancer.
Many people with chronic hepatitis don’t know they have it.
Testing could save a life.
Knowing if you are living with hepatitis is the first step to getting the treatment and care you need to protect yourself, your loved ones, and the next generation from the risk of liver cancer and other liver diseases.
There is a cure for hepatitis C and effective treatments and a vaccine for hepatitis B.
You can get tested by talking to:
- Your doctor
- Your local Aboriginal Medical Service
- Sexual Health Clinics
- Alcohol and Other Drug Services
- Queensland Injectors Health Network (QuIHN)
- Kombi Clinic
For information and support call the Hepatitis Infoline on 1800 437 222.
