Funded Activity Summary

Hepatitis B infection is common in Indigenous Australians causing serious problems such as liver failure and liver cancer. In the NT, there is an unusual and aggressive type. This project will establish if this unique strain does cause more liver failure and liver cancer. I will develop a special urine test to enable checking for liver cancer, and assess whether the use of the "Hep B Story" App will help people to have a better understanding of hepatitis B.
