Undetectable = Untransmittable (U = U)
The science is clear: individuals living with HIV who take antiretroviral therapy (ART) and achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load (defined as <200 copies/mL and also known as viral suppression) for at least six months do not transmit HIV to their sexual partners.
In 2016, the Prevention Access Campaign, a health equity initiative with the goal of ending the global HIV pandemic and HIV-related stigma, launched the Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) initiative. More than 800 organizations from over 100 countries have now overwhelmingly endorsed the U=U initiative. HIV Alliance and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) are proud to endorse this initiative.
Visit the Oregon Health Authority’s webpage on U=U to learn more.
