Prevalence of Hepatitis B
The Prevalence Of Hepatitis B
UK Infections of Hepatitis B have Tripled to 450,000 people, most with healthcare risks in their past
One of the terrible consequences of our Hepatitis Cover Up in the UK is a constant lack of awareness of the numbers infected with Hepatitis B and C in the United Kingdom. Since 1995 both blood viruses have been subject to poor testing and even poorer public information. The figure of 180,000 infections for Hepatitis B has been guessed at for decades while millions of survivors from endemic for hepatitis B nations have arrived. many of these new citizens are at enormous risk of Hepatitis B from healthcare, their own nations of origin have been desperately rolling out testing campaigns and child vaccination campaigns as per WHO guidelines. Yet here all have been denied their basic recommended care namely -
- Knowledge of their Hepatitis B Infection Levels
- Hepatitis B Border Safety Testing
- Universal Child Vaccinations
One in Four humans on Earth have had Hepatitis B at some point and 300 million are still carrying it Infectiously.
In the UK our Sentinel Surveillance Figures for the Prevalence of Hepatitis B show that across all NHS venues in 2015https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/540332/hpr2416_bbvs.pdf
After 200,000 blood tests a level of 1.1% HBV positive was noticed and the level for Afro Asian origin citizens was 4%.
Adjusted to account for people with HBV presenting more often for healthcare we haveat least 450,000 people with HBV in the UK right now.Again the bulk of these patients especially Afro Asians who are testing 4% positive have run healthcare risks for HBV overseas. When questioned 12 times about this explosion of infections in 2014 our Government refuse to acknowledge the figures and archived all those from the Noughties which are actually worse.
