A breakthrough for people living with HIV
In 2019, the findings of the landmark PARTNER study proved that when a person living with HIV is on effective medication with an undetectable viral load, they cannot pass on HIV to their sexual partners.1,2 Undetectable = Untransmittable(U=U).2
The significance of U=U cannot be underestimated for people living with HIV. Positive Perspectives data show that being made aware of U=U by healthcare providers can have a positive effect on treatment adherence and satisfaction, as well as overall health and wellbeing.3

Key findings
By sharing the empowering message of U=U with people living with HIV, healthcare providers can help improve the health outcomes and quality of life (QoL) of people in their care.3
Study results
Informed by their healthcare team
Just over one-third of people who took part in the study said they were not told about U=U by their healthcare team. Men who have sex with women are the least likely group to report having been given this information.3
