U=U

Two letters that have made a world of difference. They stand for Undetectable = Untransmittable and represent the scientific understanding that if you are taking your medication and have an undetectable HIV viral load, you are unable to transmit the virus to your partners.

Unfortunately, not too many people know about U=U. Compounding the issue is also the fact that, in 2017, only 61% of people living with HIV in LA County were virally suppressed, the last step on the HIV care continuum.

This is why education remains important to APLA Health’s process: We provide our patients and clients with medical care coordinators, link them to care, support them while they are in care, and over time help them reach undetectable viral loads, but all of this starts with having the right information and getting tested!
