Look After Your Blood Campaign
Look After Your Blood - Sexual Health and Blood-Borne Virus Program Campaign
The WA Department of Health’s Sexual Health and Blood-borne Virus Program has launched its new “Look After Your Blood” campaign.
Blood-borne viruses – such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV – are transmitted by blood, and hepatitis B and HIV can also be transmitted through sexual activity (sexual transmission of hepatitis C is also possible if blood is present).
The campaign aims to
- Reduce the incidence of hepatitis C and HIV amongst Aboriginal people in WA.
- Increase testing rates for hepatitis C and HIV amongst Aboriginal people in WA.
- Increase knowledge about the risk behaviour of sharing needles and other injecting drug equipment and the importance of testing for BBVs.
- To increase awareness that treatment is available for BBVs.
