Onesphore’s story of living with hepatitis B in Burundi

Onesphore, from Burundi, discovered he had hepatitis B in 2002 while serving in the military. He was born with the virus, which had claimed the lives of several family members, including his father and grandfather. When a nurse informed him about his diagnosis, suggesting the virus might clear in six months, he felt deeply upset as it hindered his ability to serve and save lives during a critical time in his country.
