Look after your blood campaign
Look after your blood campaign
The Look After Your Blood campaign aims to raise awareness of hepatitis C (hep C), hepatitis B (hep B) and HIV and encourage testing among Aboriginal people in Western Australia.
The campaign was developed through a co‑design process with Aboriginal stakeholders and community organisations to ensure messaging is culturally appropriate and meaningful.
Hep C, hep B and HIV don’t always show symptoms, and some people may not realise they are at risk. Testing is an important step to know your status and access treatment if needed.
The campaign supports people to access testing through trusted services, including Aboriginal Medical Services, general practitioners and community health services.
Objectives
- Increase awareness of blood-borne viruses (BBVs), particularly hep C, hep B and HIV, among Aboriginal people in WA.
- Encourage testing through trusted healthcare services, as testing is the only way to know if someone has BBVs.
- Increase awareness that treatment is available for hep C, hep B and HIV.
Key messages
- If you’ve ever shared needles, you could be at risk of blood-borne viruses.
- The only way to know if you have a blood-borne virus is to get tested.
- You can have hep C, hep B and HIV and not know it.
- Testing and treatment are easy and can be accessed through trusted healthcare services.
- Looking after your blood supports your health, family and community.
