In the #UK 87% of all people living with #HIV are virally suppressed (aka #undetectable), which means their HIV is managed and they can't pass it on to sexual partners (#UequalsU).
Globally only 53% are treated to undetectable levels.
#HIVTreatmentAccessForAll #LeaveNoOneBehind
14.6 million people living with HIV still do not have access to treatment.
Ahead of #wef20, we're calling on leaders in government and the private sector to take action to remove the barriers that stop people from getting the health care they need. #LeaveNoOneBehind

Know the facts!
A person living with HIV who is on effective treatment cannot pass on the virus.
Thank you 🙏🏾 to all the activists and community-led organizations that have worked so hard to share the #UequalsU message ❤️

More people living with #HIV have access to treatment than ever before, with 24.5 million people receiving #treatment in mid-2019. Effective HIV treatment helps PLHIV live long, healthy lives and stops the transmission of HIV to their partners. bit.ly/38QA7LK #UequalsU

Undetectable = Untransmittable means a person living with #HIV on treatment with an #undetectable viral load can’t sexually transmit HIV. U=U is transforming the lives of people impact by HIV. Help spread awareness this #WorldAIDSDay. preventionaccess.org/undetec… @PreventionAC

A new study reveals a significant number of young Americans hold HIV stigma, with 28% of HIV-negative Millennials saying they have "avoided hugging, talking to or being friends with someone with HIV". out.com/health/2019/11/25/25…

With #NHS services the UK is a world leader in treating people with #HIV.
95% of all diagnosed are #undetectable (meaning they have equal life expectancy and can’t pass the virus on #UequalsU).
The US figure is 61%.
Our NHS is #NotForSale.
H/t @robdelaney.

This is a problem. Why? Because when not on treatment, the virus can be passed on.
#Undetectable means, although living with #HIV, a person will have a viral load so low that it can’t be detected. So low that the virus cannot be passed on!
Do you know what #HIV is?
Unlike what many might think, HIV is not a disease, but a virus.
As of 2018, almost 38 million people worldwide were living with HIV. Unfortunately, only 23.3 million of those people were accessing life-saving treatment.

We need creative strategies to fight #HIV stigma. #UequalsU is an effective and immediate response to this public health emergency. – at Brooklyn, NY
As @UNAIDS reports, #HIV discrimination remains extremely high in far too many countries. Discrimination and stigma negatively affect access to health services, livelihoods, and so many aspects of a person’s life. To #EndAIDS, we need to #EndStigma. bit.ly/373T7FR

"There are so many people out there who still don't know that somebody living w/ HIV who is on successful treatment can’t pass on the virus to their sexual partners. That is a real game-changer when it comes to combating stigma" -@a_gamez_heath midlandszone.co.uk/features/… #UequalsU

Imagine a world where everyone knew the *facts* about HIV?
RT this – even if you know it – for your family, friends, frenemies, followers you know, followers you don't... because they might not.
Play an active part in busting HIV myths.
