London: Playboy girl Pamela Anderson has taken up the cause to promote awareness about Hepatitis.
The former 'Baywatch' star was diagnosed with liver disorder way back in 2001 after she contracted it through a shared tattoo needle but feels there is nothing to feel 'embarrassed' about the condition, The People reported.
The 43-year-old star controls the infection with medical help but personally wants to raise awareness so that other Hepatitis victims do not endure it.
"I've had liver biopsies. I get checked every single year, my doctor told me just keep doing what you're doing. I also have the kind that's easiest to control. There is no cure for it, so the important thing is to encourage people to get tested and not be ashamed. People get embarrassed as you get it from blood-to-blood contact, but it's not just junkies who have it," said Anderson.
