William's Story

Excited by the impending birth of his first child, William decided to plan for his family’s financial future. He was shocked to learn through a required health insurance blood test that he has hepatitis B and spent sleepless nights wondering how he contracted the virus and whether it was a death sentence. After wading through dense layers of information online, he went in for further tests and was reassured by a caring provider that with monitoring, dietary changes, and an active lifestyle, he can live a long life. He realized that knowing where hepatitis B came from isn’t as important as focusing on staying healthy.
