Approximately 500 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis B or C;

This is over 10 times the number infected with HIV/AIDS;

Between them, hepatitis B and C kill one million people a year;

One in every three people on the planet has been exposed to either or both viruses;

Most of the 500 million infected do not know.
