Tell Me So I Can Understand

If you ever need to explain your HIV in 30 seconds, start here.

“I have HIV and I’m on antiretroviral therapy — my virus is undetectable, which means I cannot transmit it to anyone (U=U). I wanted you to know because this is no longer the disease it was in the 1980s — it’s a manageable chronic condition. If I get a fever or new infection, please help me take it seriously and get prompt care.”
