Very important topic for HCPs managing our #HBV patients and also for the patients themselves. Need to think beyond the virus as well! @HepBFoundation @ICE_HBV @swang8 @thatliverguy @jacki0362 @KathrynJackNHS @pippa_matt https://twitter.com/easlnews/status/1463494923043414016

"Self-stigma comes first, and it comes at the moment of being diagnosed"

@thatliverguy talks about the self-stigma and societal stigma many people living with #hepatitis B have to face every day.

More on stigma and how to end it in our stigma report https://bit.ly/Stigma_report
