This year’s global message is “Hepatitis: Let’s break it down.”

This matters because hepatitis is not only a medical issue. It is also about access to information, testing, treatment, and support without fear, stigma, or judgement.

Many people may live with viral hepatitis for years without knowing it, because it often has no obvious symptoms. This is why testing should not be seen as a frightening step, but as a way to take care of your health.

At RefAid BaltHUB, we speak about health through support, trust, and accessibility. If a person does not know where to get tested, how to contact a doctor, or where to begin, they should not have to face these questions alone.

Hepatitis can be prevented, diagnosed, and treated. Asking for help can be confidential, safe, and free of judgement.

If you need information, a consultation, or help navigating available services, contact RefAid BaltHUB.
