It’s estimated that 230,000 Canadians are currently infected with
hepatitis B, although only 58 per cent of them are aware of their
infection. [Kwok's note: that means 42% are not aware they are carrier of the Hep B virus. Scary]
Hepatitis A is rare in Canada and Patterson said the majority of
cases over the past decade have been the result of people
being infected while traveling to the Caribbean, South America or
Africa, and then developing symptoms once they've returned home.
It’s estimated that about 79 million Americans have HPV but many don’t
even know they’re infected, as most people never develop symptoms.
