This book was written to help the 750,000 children, workers and migrants with undiagnosed Hepatitis B and C in the UK get tested and into care before up to a quarter of a million of them dies. It records the helpline calls of hundreds of normal men women and children with recently diagnosed Hepatitis B infections from homes and occupations in the UK. Hepatitis B in blood has infected 2 billion humans mainly as children via wounds and Hepatitis C from healthcare has infected 200 million more, mainly from reused medical syringes and transfusions. This book feels everyone has a right to know how a quarter of humanity caught hepatitis and that look back testing is the only way to be safe.
