It’s Your Right Campaign – Live Free of Hep C
The It’s Your Right campaign launched on April 11th and is rolling out across Brisbane, Townsville, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast. It’s Your Right is promoting hepatitis C testing and treatment to people who inject drugs. We want to let people know that the new treatments are easier, have less side effects, can be done while using drugs, and that people can be treated again, and again.
