HBI-DC works across Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia with communities in-need to prevent hepatitis B infections and its deadly consequences. We meet communities where they are at, speak their languages to provide life-saving health education, Hepatitis B screenings and vaccinations and linking positives to doctors for treatment. We need your help to continue our life-saving work.

Did you know...preventing Hepatitis B transmission prevents liver cancer too?!

1 in 10 Asian Americans and African Newcomers are infected with Hepatitis B, and many do not even know.

Two in three infected individuals do not know they are infected because their symptoms do not show up until they develop liver cancer or liver failure. Prevent the ‘silent killer’ of Hepatitis B from affecting more individuals, and contribute to HBI-DC by running with our Charity Partner Team.
