What does U=U mean?

Back to all FAQs

Answer

Undetectable equals untransmittable. This means that a person who achieves and maintains an undetectable viral load cannot sexually transmit HIV to others. Other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can still be transmitted, however, so safer sex practices are recommended to prevent other STI transmission. Learn more in our article, U=U.
