Raising Awareness About Hepatitis D

The importance of research on Hepatitis D cannot be overstated, but equally crucial is educating the public, especially Hepatitis B patients. In response, D-SOLVE, in collaboration with its partners TherVacB, DZIF, Stephan Urban Foundation, ICE-HBV and Deutsche Leberstiftung, has launched an awareness campaign focused on Hepatitis D.

This campaign is designed for a non-scientific audience with the goal of raising awareness without stigmatization. In short YouTube videos (available in both English and German), various experts from the participating organizations explain and illuminate everything one needs to know about this serious disease. Each video covers different subtopics and will be released progressively.

Five videos are already online:

• Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Stephan Urban: What is hepatitis D? What is the Hepatitis D Virus? (German: Was ist Hepatitis D? Was ist das Hepatitis-D-Virus?)
• Prof. Dr. Markus Cornberg from the D-SOLVE consortium: How is hepatitis D diagnosed? (German: Wie diagnostiziert man Hepatitis D?)
• Prof. Dr. Heiner Wedemeyer from the D-SOLVE consortium: What happens if HDV infection is not treated? (German: Was passiert, wenn eine HDV-Infektion nicht behandelt wird?)
• Dr. Helenie Kefalakes / Dr. Lisa Sandmann from the D-SOLVE consortium: How is hepatitis D treated? (German: Wie wird die Hepatitis D behandelt?)
• Prof. Dr. Percy Knolle: How does the liver work? (German: Wie funktioniert die Leber?)
