Undetectable Equals Untransmittable was created by The Prevention Access Campaign to educate people about science that has been around for years. Studies show that if someone is HIV+, takes their medication regularly and achieves an undetectable viral load for over 6 months, that they cannot transmit the virus. To clarify, the CDC states “(undetectable individuals) have effectively no risk of sexually transmitting the virus to an HIV-negative partner”. #UequalsU #ScienceNotStigma
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) – PrEP is a medical regimen that includes routine doctor visits, labs and taking 1 pill once a day to prevent HIV. When taken daily, data shows that its over 90% effective at reducing HIV transmission. There are many was to get PrEP. Your doctor/healthcare provider and many nonprofits are now offering it. Check out Please PrEP Me to find the option closest to you.
Condoms – Using condoms with both of the above HIV prevention strategies is recommended. In addition, condoms also help prevent STIs. Now there is even an internal condom option!

Other Ways – Plus there are a million other ways to have a great time sexually AND prevent HIV. In other words, let your mind run wild with this one. For example, there’s heavy petting, role play, mutual masturbation, abstinence, massage, rope – the only thing that limits you is your imagination! Above all, have a healthy conversation about sexual boundaries, safe sex practices and consent!
