Lisboa without AIDS

Undetectable = Untransferable

When a person living with HIV is on treatment and has an undetectable viral load, HIV is not transmitted through sexual intercourse.

Undetectable Viral Load

Viral load is the measurement of the amount of HIV present in a person's blood. It is the main indicator of treatment effectiveness.

When a person with HIV is on effective treatment, the amount of HIV is significantly reduced, to the point where it cannot be detected in a blood test. This is called an undetectable viral load.

When the viral load is undetectable, HIV is no longer transmitted during sexual intercourse, even when a condom is not used.

Reducing stigma and discrimination

Information is the most powerful tool against the prejudice and discrimination associated with HIV infection. People living with HIV who are undetectable can live out their sexuality without fear.
