Yesterday I picked up my #HIV meds for the next 6 months.
I’ve been on treatment since 2003.
I now take 3 pills a day (some people take fewer).
These prevent me from getting ill.
They also mean I can’t pass HIV on during sex (#UequalsU).
HIV has changed. Tell everyone.

#UequalsU stands for Undetectable means Untransmittable.
When #HIV is suppressed by treatment to undetectable levels there is NO RISK AT ALL of passing it on during sex.
How awesome is that?

With access to effective treatment, people with #HIV should now live about as long as people who do not have HIV.

I recognise how privileged I am to have easy access to #HIV treatment.
Globally, about 1 in 4 people still do not.
690,000 people died of HIV-related illness in 2020, almost 25 years after we learned how to treat it.
HIV changed - but not enough. #NAMat35
