Every year, approximately 1.2 million new cases emerge for each virus.

The Numbers Are Staggering

  • By 2025, around 40 million people will be living with HIV.
  • Over 250 million people will have chronic hepatitis B.

These figures highlight that these viruses remain a persistent global threat.

The Severity of the Situation

Both HIV and hepatitis B can lead to serious health complications and can be deadly if left untreated.

Tools to Fight Back

We have medicines and vaccines to combat these viruses.

Key Questions

  • Are we using these tools effectively?
  • Can we learn from HIV treatment strategies and apply them to hepatitis B?

The Solution: Care and Support

People need:

  • Access to healthcare
  • Education
  • Resources

With these in place, we can reduce the impact of these viruses.

It's a challenge, but it's possible.
