94% of people living with HIV in the UK have been diagnosed.
98% are on treatment and 97% of those are undetectable.
This means that 89% of all people living with HIV #CantPassItOn when we have sex.
Undetectable means Untransmittable - #UequalsU.
Tell everyone.
Here’s more information about #UequalsU, including links to the studies that establish that there is ZERO risk of HIV transmission during sex when we are Undetectable.

In 2019, the UK met the @UNAIDS 90-90-90 target nationally for the 3rd consecutive year.
In London, the equivalent figures were 95%, 98% and 97%, meeting the 2030 95-95-95 targets for the 2nd consecutive year.

I’m passionate about sharing the #UequalsU message, not only because it strikes a powerful blow against stigma but also because it lays the foundation to ending the #HIV epidemic.
#TreatmentAccess4All
For many living with HIV who have secure access to treatment, it isn’t the virus that causes us problems, it’s the stigma that’s attached to it.
We are not doomed, we are not ‘unclean’, we are not predatory or dangerous, just because we have HIV.
