BA’s Story of Living with Hepatitis B in Ghana

BA, a nurse from northern Ghana, discovered he was living with hepatitis B during a blood donation attempt to save a child. The diagnosis, which was not handled confidentially, deeply affected him and led him to seek confirmation and care. Despite the initial shock, BA has turned his experience into a mission, educating others and leading hepatitis B vaccination efforts in rural communities. With 16 years in nursing, he sees each encounter with hepatitis B as a chance to raise awareness and offer hope. BA encourages others living with the virus to stay positive, reminding them that there is life and hope after diagnosis.
