Education is an important way to fight stigma. Even with the many campaigns for the fight against stigma as concerns the HIV infection, there still exist some level stigma. Maybe this could be because many people are still not aware of U=U

When you take your Antiretroviral treatment and reach undetectable for about 6months, you can't spread the HIV virus to your s*xual partner. You can have a normal life as every other person. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞

The are 2 ways of saving lives; directly or indirectly. By sharing this message you are indirectly saving someone who is infected with the virus and wants to give up on life with no knowledge about U=U.

What if the whole world knew about U=U, will there still be stigma around HIV infection? Will the infection spread?

Join us by liking, commenting and sharing. Let's keep telling people to tell other people.

Having an undetectable viral load on ART also reduces the risk of other ways that HIV is transmitted.

However, it doesn’t reduce other risks to zero.

For example, a baby can still become HIV positive from breastfeeding, even if the mother has an undetectable viral load.

The risk of transmitting HIV from sharing drug injecting equipment is higher than s*xual transmission. There isn’t evidence to support this risk being zero.

Firstly, it's up to you if you want to date people with similar HIV status or not. HIV is no longer news to many. Dating with the virus is alot safer than it used to be, however you do want to be honest before having s*x. There are pre-exposure prophylaxis available that your partner could take before s*x. One pill a day cuts 99% of the risk of your partner picking up the virus.

Secondly you have got to know that all you need to have a normal life is to adhere strictly to your HIV treatment.
So Relax, you can look anywhere you normally would and date whoever you want

Please you very much should worry about other s*xually transmitted diseases.
HIV is j𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 of the several s*xually transmitted diseases. The antiretroviral therapy for HIV or the PrEP only works for HIV alone and has nothing to do with other s*xually transmitted diseases.
So in as much as you take your HIV medications you also have to follow the various methods of prevention of s*xually transmitted diseases. A few include;
- limiting your number of s*xual partners and using condoms during s*x
-Making sure you and your partner get tested regularly
- And you could also get vaccinated with vaccines available for some like the hepatitis B virus and HPV
