If you take your HIV medicine as prescribed and maintain an undetectable viral load, there is zero risk of transmitting the virus to sexual partners! If you’re undetectable, you’re untransmittable. #UEqualsU! (According to the CDC, NIH, Prevention Access Campaign) #PittHIVResearch #endhivstigma

There may not be a “perfect” or “right” ART regimen, but one may fit better in your life than the other! Talk to your PCP for more information on which may work best for you.
