Hepatitis Awareness Week, so get the facts and take the next step to protect yourself.
Hepatitis is a viral liver infection, and the 3 most common types are A, B and C. In Australia, more than 400,000 people are living with Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C, and many remain undiagnosed.
Many people do not experience any symptoms, but some may experience:
- fever
- feeling tired
- nausea
- diarrhoea
- loss of appetite
- jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
If you experience any symptoms of hepatitis, don’t wait. Talk to your doctor straight away.
Living with Hepatitis B or C? Talk to your doctor about a liver health check-up once a year, even if you feel healthy and well.
