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

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
