Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Public Health
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • Over 250 million people globally live with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
  • Discrimination based on hepatitis B status is a significant but under-documented issue.
  • This discrimination can manifest as unjust or prejudicial treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the lived experiences of discrimination among individuals with CHB.
  • To document the impact and consequences of hepatitis B-related discrimination.
  • To provide data supporting the need for interventions against hepatitis B stigma.

Main Methods:

  • A global hepatitis B discrimination registry was established to collect self-reported data.
  • The registry included demographic, discrimination event, and open-ended experience questions.
  • Data were collected from May 2021 to December 2023 via patient networks and social media.

Main Results:

  • 569 individuals from 65 countries responded; 461 detailed discrimination experiences.
  • Common forms of discrimination included work visa restrictions, employment barriers, and educational discrimination.
  • Emotional distress and community/healthcare discrimination were also reported.

Conclusions:

  • Hepatitis B discrimination significantly impacts individuals' lives and economic opportunities, irrespective of symptoms.
  • Discrimination acts as a barrier to diagnosis and care, hindering hepatitis B elimination efforts.
  • Global and national strategies are needed to address hepatitis B-associated discrimination.
