THE MORE YOU KNOW

I may be a pretty common STD, but there’s nothing pretty about me. I like my hometowns to be either in the double genitals or the rectum resort. I spread through Vaginal, Anus, or oral sex. I affect all genders and I like to create a burning sensation during urination, a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis, and painful or swollen testicles. If you have a vagina, it’s hard for you to see any symptoms at all. But I may express myself as a painful or burning sensation when urinating, an increased vaginal discharge or vaginal bleeding between periods.

Some of my favorite hobbies are to cause serious health problems to the babies of infected pregnant women. If left untreated, I can also cause men to become sterile if left untreated.

Undetectable Equals Untransmittable

The fact that people living with HIV on effective treatment do no sexuallt transmit the virus is known as U=U. This type of information can transform lives when communicated properly. It's important to be precise and empowering.

U=U belongs to EVERYONE... U=U is based on science of treatment as prevention (TasP). IN 2016, Julio Mintaner, MD, was one of the first pioneer of TasP. on of the first endorsers of U=U. Over 800 organizations from nearly 100 countires, including dozens of the U.S. public health departments, now use this phrase.

Make it a priority...
When you create statements, videos, speeches and newsletter, put U=U up frontso it has the best chance of being heard. U=U applies to many areas. HIV stigma, sexual and reproductive health, HIV prevention, HIV criminalization and access to treatment and services.

The Basics are Easy...
You want to focus on the adherence, regualr viral load testing and engagement in care. the basic rules are not complex. It is about TLC. AND no, not Tender Love and Care or T-BOZ, Left Eye and Chili. Treatment: stay on treatment as prescribed. Labs: get labs done reguarly. and Lastly, Connection: Stay connected to care.

Be Clear and Consistent...
You want to use strong phrases, sych as "Cant pass it on," "cannot transmit," "no risk," and "effectively no risk." These are in effect the same risk assessment. You can also say "zero risk." Avoid phrases that convey even slight risk, like "nearly impossible," "extremely low," or "make it hard to transmit." Any perceived window, no matter how slight, may still be considered a risk.
