Am I Number 12?
All over the world people have been asking the question ‘Am I Number 12?’
Why ‘Am I Number 12?’
Because shockingly one in 12 people worldwide are living with either chronic hepatitis B or chronic hepatitis C . While this is far higher than the prevalence of HIV or any cancer, awareness is inexplicably low and the majority of those infected are unaware.
‘Am I Number 12?’ is the theme of the first truly global World Hepatitis Day, which takes place on Monday, 19th May, 2008. The World Hepatitis Alliance hopes that ‘Am I Number 12?’ will prompt people to think about the huge scale of hepatitis infection globally, about whether they may be at risk (and if so, to get testest) and also about how to avoid becoming infected.
