Hepatitis C Trust
744 members
The Hepatitis C Trust is the UK charity for hepatitis C. We support and advocate for people who have hepatitis C and who have had it in the past. Most of our staff and volunteers have lived experience of hepatitis C. We use this experience to improve care, and in our services; we provide hepatitis C education, testing and support all over the UK in partnership with the NHS. Our helpline and information service has been running since 2004 and we have a wealth of understanding of hepatitis C itself and of the many ways it affects people's lives. We welcome you to this community where we can all discuss and share our experiences, support and knowledge with each other.

Group B Strep Support
746 members
This is a community dedicated to helping those affected by group B Strep (GBS). GBS is a common bacterium that lives in 20-30% of adults, usually with no symptoms or side-effects. Most commonly found in the intestines, it can also live in the vagina of adult women. It is a ‘commensal’ – an organism that lives on another without causing harm. GBS can cause infection, most often in newborn babies. It more rarely causes infection in adults (typically women during pregnancy or after birth, the elderly and those with serious underlying medical conditions causing impaired immune system). Although relatively uncommon, GBS is the most common cause of infection in newborn babies and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months. On average in the UK, one baby a day develops GBS infection - one baby a week dies and one survivor a fortnight has long-term disability.

HepCBC Hepatitis C Education & Prevention Society
208 members
Welcome to the online support forum of HepCBC Hepatitis C Education and Prevention Society! We are based in British Columbia, Canada, but our outreach efforts are open to anyone in the world struggling with this disease. We've been incorporated since 1996 and a registered Canadian charity since 2001. Our MISSION: HepCBC is a non-profit organization run by and for people infected and affected by hepatitis C. Our mission is to provide education, prevention and support to those living with HCV. Our POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY is: Although we are constantly dealing with the challenge of a relentless disease, and people who are hurting, HepCBC always tries to improve people’s lives, and have a positive attitude: All services are provided for free. Preserving client confidentiality is a key goal. We understand HCV stigma and we respect that your HCV status, health, and contact information must only be disclosed by you, when you want to do it, to whom you want to disclose only, and with no outside pressure. We strive to be respectful and non-judgemental while exploring differences in experiences and insights. Our concern is helping as many HCV+ people as possible, not dwelling on how they contracted the disease. We provide the most current research results about testing and treatment options. We want you to be able to make informed decisions according to your own unique circumstances. HepCBC will strive to appoint volunteers with excellent knowledge and experience to manage this online forum. For more information, please visit our website!

We are a adult liver patient support group based at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Whatever kind of liver disease you may have, we are here to support you. Whilst we will endeavour to assist you with any queries relating to liver disease it would be inappropraite for us to comment on liver function blood test as there are too many variables involved to generalise. Your hepatologist is the appropriate person to ask for advice in this instance.
