The Human Genetic determinants of HBV recovery (Hepatitis B Project) is investigating the host genetic basis or human genetics determinants for spontaneous recovery from Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). The project is to ascertain the proportion of Nigerian women who are Hepatitis B and C positive who might be asymptomatic and advise/link them to go for treatment and create awareness for Hepatitis B disease and the need for screening and vaccinations while unravelling the human genetics determinants for spontaneous recovery from Hepatitis B Virus.
