Steven Taylor: AOD outreach, presenting, engaging and smashing stigma

LiverWELL

"You could stand in a bucket of infected blood and still not catch the infection...as long as you don't have any cuts on your feet." That's one of the little anecdotes Steven Taylor uses to illustrate how viral hepatitis can only be passed from one person to another through infected blood. Steven has worked at Hepatitis Victoria as a volunteer, performer and now Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) Workforce Training Officer. Steven presents the facts about viral hepatitis in a two-hour summary, to organisations in the AOD sector. He talks about his new job, what the training involves and why there is a "...real need in the AOD community for this kind of information."
