HIV is one of the most misunderstood medical conditions… and stigma thrives where education is missing. So here are a few truths:
🧠 HIV is not a death sentence. With proper treatment, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives.
💊 Medication works. Daily treatment can reduce HIV to an undetectable level, which means the virus cannot be sexually transmitted. Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U).
🧬 HIV is a virus, not a character flaw. It has nothing to do with morals, worth, or who someone is as a person.
🤝🏽 You cannot get HIV through casual contact. Not from hugs, sharing food, sitting next to someone, or being in the same room.
❤️ People living with HIV are parents, partners, professionals, and leaders. We are not a diagnosis… we are people.
