#BtheVoice 

Kattah's journey with hepatitis B began in 2012. Since then, he has regularly monitored his liver health and faced significant stigma from family members due to misunderstandings about how hepatitis B is transmitted. This stigma and discrimination have been a challenging part of his experience.
Recently, Kattah received a job offer but was rejected because of his hepatitis B status. Despite these setbacks, he is committed to improving his lifestyle by avoiding alcohol and drugs, exercising, and maintaining a balanced diet. Kattah's story highlights that people living with chronic hepatitis B can live long and healthy lives if they manage their condition well.
He urges policymakers to develop policies that support individuals with hepatitis B. Watch Kattah's inspiring journey and learn more about living with and managing hepatitis B.

*** About #BtheVoice The Hepatitis B Foundation launched the B the Voice Story Bank in 2020. Building upon the success of our national #justB campaign - launched in partnership with StoryCenter and AAPCHO in May 2017 - we are excited to expand our storytelling efforts internationally. Almost 300 million people worldwide live with chronic hepatitis B, but so many of their stories remain untold. Often this is due to stigma, fear of discrimination, lack of community awareness or understanding of the disease, or lack of support for those wishing to speak out publicly about hepatitis B. The new B the Voice Story Bank provides an online platform for people living with hepatitis B, their families, and community health workers and health care providers to share their first-hand knowledge and experiences with a global audience.
