Call to action: how can the US Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative succeed?
Leading US medical experts and leaders from advocacy organizations including AmFAR, AVAC, Black AIDS Institute, Prevention Access Campaign, and San Francisco AIDS Foundation issued a call to action to include U=U as an essential component of ending the epidemic. "A national culturally competent effort is needed to raise awareness of the U=U campaign as a promising approach to reduce HIV stigma, which has a powerful potentiating role in both acquisition risks and treatment challenges." The article also called for providers to communicate U=U to their patients and that advocates use the so-called public health argument from U=U in advocacy.

Providers should discuss U=U with all patients living with HIV
This finding reinforces existing consensus by WHO and more than [1,025 other organisations] worldwide that people whose HIV viral load is stably suppressed cannot sexually transmit the virus.
With evidence supporting undetectable=untransmittable (U=U) now overwhelming, providers should be routinely communicating the message to all of their patients living with HIV.

U=U Taking off in 2017
U=U is a simple but hugely important campaign based on a solid foundation of scientific evidence.
It has already been successful in influencing public opinion, causing more people with HIV (and their friends and families) to comprehend that they can live long, healthy lives, have children, and never have to worry about passing on their infection to others.
The CDC officially backing the science behind the campaign is another key step towards U=U being the most important message of 2017 in the fight against HIV.

HIV Viral Load and Transmissibility of HIV Infection: Undetectable Equals Untransmittable
In 2016, the Prevention Access Campaign, a health equity initiative with the goal of ending the HIV/AIDS pandemic as well as HIV-related stigma, launched the Undetectable = Untransmittable (U = U) initiative.
U = U signifies that individuals with HIV who receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) and have achieved and maintained an undetectable viral load cannot sexually transmit the virus to others.
This concept, based on strong scientific evidence, has broad implications for treatment of HIV infection from a scientific and public health standpoint, for the self-esteem of individuals by reducing the stigma associated with HIV, and for certain legal aspects of HIV criminalization.

People who take ART daily as prescribed and achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of sexually transmitting the virus to an HIV-negative partner.

"‘I don’t feel like I’m a threat anymore.’ New HIV guidelines are changing lives."
[U=U is] the campaign credited with beginning to change public perception of HIV transmissibility.
