“…A total of six studies provided a qualitative assessment of patient or healthcare provider attitudes towards people living with HBV, including aspects of stigma and discrimination ( Table 2). [35][36][37][38][39][40] Two of the qualitative studies were conducted in people living with HBV in Malaysia and Iran. 36,37 In Malaysia, people frequently reported feeling anxious and/or distressed following initial diagnosis, which was attributed to a combination or lack of knowledge, stigma around HBV, and physicians' emphasizing HBV-related complications.…”

“…These were a grief reaction following diagnosis, an inferiority complex and emotional challenges, which included worry, fear of stigma and deprivation, fear of being treated like an HIV patient and fear of losing employment or marriage opportunities. 37 Of the remaining four qualitative studies, three were conducted in the US 35,39,40 and one was conducted in China. 38 Several consistent themes were noted in the USbased studies including the existence of HBV-related stigma and its negative impact on seeking testing as well as the relationship between stigma and lack of diseaserelated knowledge.…”

Background: People with chronic infectious diseases such as hepatitis B can face stigma, which can influence everyday life as well as willingness to engage with medical professionals or disclose disease status. A systematic literature review was performed to characterize the level and type of stigma experienced by people infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) as well as to identify instruments used to measure it. Methods: A literature review was performed using the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases to identify studies describing HBV-related stigma. For inclusion, articles were required to be published in full-text form, in English and report quantitative or qualitative data on HBV-related stigma that could be extracted. Results: A total of 23 (17 quantitative and 6 qualitative) articles examined HBV-related stigma. The scope of the review was global but nearly all identified studies were conducted in countries in the WHO Southeast Asia or Western Pacific regions or within immigrant communities in North America. Several quantitative studies utilized tools specifically designed to assess aspects of stigma. Qualitative studies were primarily conducted via patient interviews. Internalized and social stigma were common among people living with chronic HBV . Some people also perceived structural/institutional stigma, with up to 20% believing that they may be denied healthcare and up to 30% stating they may experience workplace discrimination due to HBV. Conclusion: HBV-related stigma is common, particularly in some countries in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific region and among Asian immigrant communities, but is poorly characterized in non-Asian populations. Initiatives are needed to document and combat stigma (particularly in settings/jurisdictions where it is poorly described) as well as its clinical and socioeconomic consequences.

“…[333538] Because of misunderstandings about the transmission routes of HBV and the stigma of HBV infection, individuals sometimes prefer to remain unaware of their disease condition, which increases opportunities for transmitting the virus and missing the chance to be treated. [3940] An important issue to be considered is the question of whether or not the patient and family experiences an unnecessary degree of stigma because of misunderstanding about the nature of transmission of the virus and a lack of knowledge of recent discoveries of available treatment, and it is worth exploring in future investigation.…”

Objective:To examine the hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related knowledge among Asian American college students and to determine whether there are significant differences in the level of HBV knowledge among Asian American subgroups.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was self-administered to assess a sample of 258 Asian American students’ knowledge about HBV at the campus of the research site.Results:Knowledge regarding transmission and consequences of HBV infection was poor. Of a possible knowledge score of 14, the median number of correct answers was eight. There were no significant differences between the subgroups of Asian American college students in total knowledge of HBV infection.Conclusion:The findings of this study point to the fact that the lack of knowledge and awareness is not limited to community settings only but also includes higher education environment. This finding brings to the forefront the importance of HBV education for Asian American college students.
