Jason's Hepatitis B Story 澤民的B肝故事 #BtheVoice #B肝之聲
澤民在年輕時因骨髓移植感染了B型和C型肝炎。儘管12年前接受了干擾素治療，他仍未能清除肝炎病毒。六年後，他通過自行購買的抗病毒學名藥物（DAA）成功治癒了C型肝炎。為了慶祝治癒C肝，他和家人一起去了日本旅行，但一到達就病倒了。他立刻返回台灣，因慢性B型肝炎急性惡化住院，並準備進行肝臟移植。
Jason contracted Hepatitis B and C due to a bone marrow transplant at a young age. Despite undergoing interferon treatment 12 years ago, he was unable to clear the viruses. Six years later, he successfully cured his hepatitis C using self-procured generic direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). To celebrate curing HCV, he went on a trip to Japan with his family, but fell ill upon arrival. He promptly returned to Taiwan and was hospitalized for acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B and was prepared for a liver transplantation.

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.
