About SF Hep B Free

San Francisco Hep B Free – Bay Area is a multi-county campaign to turn the San Francisco Bay Area into the first hepatitis B free area in the nation. This unprecedented campaign provides free and low-cost hepatitis B testing, community and physician education on hepatitis B, and promotes routine testing and vaccination for those Asian and Pacific Islander (API) adults at risk.

The three objectives of the SF Hep B Free campaign are:

• To create public and healthcare provider awareness about the importance of testing & vaccinating APIs for hepatitis B.
• To promote routine hepatitis B testing and vaccination within the primary care medical community.
• To ensure access to treatment for chronically infected individuals.
