Shaibu talks about living with hepatitis B in Tanzania
Shaibu is from Tanzania and found out he had hepatitis B at a young age. As a child, Shaibu and his brother were unfairly isolated from others in school because of their hepatitis B. Paying for treatment was costly. The family had to sell livestock and fundraise to try to get care. Since his brother's death from cirrhosis, Shaibu has been working to raise awareness about hepatitis B.
