“I have HIV, but I can’t pass it on.”

HIV treatments are now so good that as well as keeping people with HIV healthy, they also stop transmission of the virus.

Effective treatment reduces the HIV in semen, blood, anal mucosa and vaginal fluids to undetectable levels. This means that there is zero risk of HIV being sexually passed on from someone with an undetectable viral load.

This is known as undetectable = untransmittable (U=U).

98% of people with HIV who are on treatment in Australia are undetectable.

Large scale trials have proved the case. In these studies, there were no transmissions of HIV among couples where one partner was HIV-positive and their viral load was undetectable.

Check out these studies to read the research; PARTNER, the Australian study Opposites Attract, and HPTN052.

Although we’ve known about this remarkable biomedical breakthrough for at least 10 years, it is still not widely known. We need your help to change that. Please pass on the message.

Here are some great resources to help you to ‘pass it on’.
