INTRODUCTION THREAD: People affected by Hep B

Hello everyone :waving_hand:

My name is Mohamed, 44, from Mauritania.

I just made a decision to test for Hepatitis B for the first time, it was only a week ago and I found out that I carry the virus, my blood test was HBsAg positive.

I don’t know when and how I contamned the virus, I have never ever felt major symptoms, but in my country the virus is widely spread among people without they notice (just in my case).

I saw the doctor, I will be making alot of tests as he described to determine my status in viral load, if the virus is slient or active.

I have been very very frightened since I realized my situation, but now I am a little bit comfortable as I met many people with the same condition living their normal life.. And specially after discovering this great community.

Thank you.
