Hi all, my name is Miriam and I am from Sydney, Australia. I am the partner of someone who lives with hep B, so I guess I am part of the affected community, although I am negative for hep B myself.
It has taken me a long time to understand the full impact of hepatitis B on my partner. I think when I first met him, I didn’t know much about hep B and it wasn’t a big deal for me that he was hep B positive. So it took me a while to understand everything he was going through.
I am also a student of public health and a moderator on this forum. Looking forward to interacting with all of you!
