About Hepatitis B and San Francisco HEP B FREE - Bay Area

July 28th is World Hepatitis Day. Hepatitis B takes a life every 30 seconds. Most of these lives are Asian. Hepatitis B is a significant health inequity faced by the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI). 1 in 12 AAPI are chronically infected with hepatitis B. Without treatment or monitoring, 1 in 4 of these individuals will die from liver cancer or liver failure. SF Hep B Free is dedicated to increasing awareness and education about Hepatitis B within the community, to increase access to affordable testing and vaccination, and provide linkage to care for chronically-affected individuals. Our supporters are the driving force behind our efforts to save lives and fight against hepatitis B. This summer, help save lives and reach our goal of $10K by the end of this summer through donations and participating in our run. Your contribution will allow SF Hep B Free to continue its work in saving lives.
