Talk:World Hepatitis Day

Speedy Deletion?

I think one or more similar articles on the same subject have been deleted before. I don't know how to confirm that, though. Is there a list that can be searched? Scray (talk) 03:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Apparently administrators can access deleted pages but they're not visible to the public. However, it looks like some articles on this subject have been deleted before. For example, I found an archived variation of a World Hepatitis Awareness Day wikipedia article on an external site. Presumably that was deleted (with good reason) for strange, subjective, self-promotion phrases like "Only by talking openly about the disease and by encouraging people who might be at risk to Get Tested can we begin to tackle this global problem."

That sort of nonsense aside, it's a notable topic and warrants at least a stub. It's the only recognised international hepatitis day event, has apparently been running for four years and is actively promoted by the CDC. Likely to become increasing notable. Hepatitis B for example is apparently "the primary cause of liver cancer, which is the fastest growing cancer in the U.S". According to my research, Hepatitis B and C kill 1.5 million people worldwide per year, which is fast approaching the 2 million from AIDS. Suggest article needs expanding.

The question isn't whether or not hepatitis can infect persons who work abroad or not, it's how likely. Depending on the virus you're talking about: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, so on. Hepatitis B and C are transmitted primarily through exposure with bodily fluids. For example, sharing hypodermic needles, sexual contact, so on—with a person who is infected with Hepatitis B or C. Hepatitis A is transmitted primarily through contaminated food. Some countries have a higher number of people who are infected, while other do not. Abroad, or outside the United States, developing countries (e.g. China, Africa, sometimes South America) have a larger number of people infected than within developing countries. Although that is not always the case. Nonetheless, if you don't go around poking yourself with dirty needles then you'd like be safe. I hope this helps. The reference desk is available if you have any more questions. ChyranandChloe (talk) 05:42, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Expanding World Hepatitis Day

Hi All, I've started expanding the World Hepatitis Day page, using the World Aids day page as a model. Added some info to history, and updated the themes table to include 2010. I'll look at adding in an image and any other appropriate information I can find. Cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by John2602 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I have added cross-links across all pages on the WHO "official" observances to enhance the model.Guptan99 (talk) 15:38, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
