I am a 36-year-old woman living in Sydney who is currently taking the hepatitis B medication Viread.
Thanks to the fact that I have been taking Viread consistently for over 5 years, I am currently in good health with no problems with my viral load or liver function.
She is the mother of two healthy children and raised them all by breastfeeding.
I don't know how you feel about me to watch this video, but I am saying with the hope that my experience will be helpful to someone.
My mother is a hepatitis B carrier* (hereinafter changed to carrier), so I was also born a hepatitis B carrier.
As expected, there was no hepatitis B vaccine in Korea when I was born, or my mother did not know about it.
The first time I heard of hepatitis B was when I donated blood for the first time while attending high school in Korea.
