What is Hepatitis A? 🤔
Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection that typically causes a mild, short-term illness but it’s still important to protect yourself. The best defense? Vaccination!
You can get vaccinated through your PCP. Simply schedule an appointment — phciowa.org/locations

Did you know most people with hepatitis B or C don’t show any symptoms? The only way to know for sure is to get tested.
Early detection means early treatment & for hepatitis B, while there's no cure, treatment can help reduce the risk of severe complications like liver cancer.

We say LOL to the idea that someone with HIV can’t live a full, healthy life.
Newsflash: with treatment, people with HIV can’t transmit the virus.
That’s U=U, fam: Undetectable = Untransmittable. 🔥
So next time someone spreads stigma, just reply with:
“I support, not judge. ILY. ❤️”
