People with HIV who adhere to their treatment regimen and achieve and maintain viral suppression experience slower disease progression, enjoy better overall health, and are less likely to acquire opportunistic infections. What’s more, people with an undetectable viral load don’t transmit HIV to others through s*x. This is known as treatment as prevention, or Undetectable Equals Untransmittable (U=U).

New data confirm Ryan White’s success—undetectable equals untransmittable, and healthier—but GOP leaders want to slash these HIV funds.

"Despite much progress in stemming the tide of the epidemic, HIV remains one of the clearest examples of how structural inequities shape health outcomes in the United States — and how Black Americans continue to pay the highest price.

What began as a public health crisis has become a long-running measure of our national resolve. The question before us is no longer whether we know how to prevent HIV or treat it effectively. The question is whether we are willing to confront the inequities that have allowed this epidemic to persist in Black communities for generations."
