Everyone has a role in ending the HIV epidemic.

If you’re living with HIV, the best thing you can do is take your meds and stay in care. Taking your meds consistently makes the amount of HIV in your body very low—so low that it’s difficult to measure.

With so little HIV in your body, you prevent others from getting HIV. Taking as little as one pill a day will have a huge impact.

If we can get 90% of people with HIV to take their meds and stay in care, we can end the HIV epidemic by 2030!

You should start treatment as soon as possible after learning you have HIV. Your goal is to decrease the amount of HIV in your body to very low levels - so low that it’s difficult for lab tests to measure.

It takes commitment to do this. You need to take your meds on time, every time, every day.

You’ll need to take your meds for six months or longer to lower the amount of HIV in your body. Once your doctor completes lab tests and confirms your low levels of HIV, you can be confident you won’t pass HIV to others.

Remember: You’ll still have HIV. You’ll need to keep taking your meds and seeing your doctor regularly to make sure the amount of HIV in your body remains low. But you won’t have to worry about putting your sexual partners at risk for getting HIV.

This is a new, simple way to describe the results of taking your meds daily to keep the amount of HIV in your body low.

It means:

• UNDETECTABLE: Your lab results show very little HIV present in your body for six months or longer.
• UNTRANSMITTABLE: You have zero risk of passing HIV on to others through sex or other ways.
