In 2016, the Prevention Access Campaign, a nonprofit advocacy group, launched with a mission to educate the public that, as its slogan states, “Undetectable = Untransmittable,” or “U=U,” for short. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently affirmed these findings, stating that successfully treating HIV is an estimated 100% effective at preventing sexual transmission of the virus. In a sign of significant progress in the effort to destigmatize HIV, a new survey of a large group of men who have sex with men (MSM) has found an increasing level of understanding in this demographic that people with the virus who have an undetectable viral load cannot transmit the virus through sex.ĭuring the current decade, a series of landmark studies has produced a massive trove of data that has led the scientific community to conclude that if people with HIV are on antiretroviral (ARV) treatment and sustain a fully suppressed viral load, they pose no risk of transmission to their sexual partners.
