To reach the UNAIDS goal of 95% of people knowing their #HIV status by 2030, the global community must improve access to HIV testing for all, especially members of key populations that are disproportionately affected by HIV. Learn more about barriers, facilitators, and strategies to enhance uptake of HIV self-testing among men who have sex with men in this recently published article co-authored by JSI’s Donald Udah: https://lnkd.in/eTQV-gYq #PutPeopleFirst #HIVtesting #HIVprevention #KeyPopulations

🌎 On WORLD AIDS DAY -- Let Communities Lead! 🌱👨👨👦👦 Communities have the power to shape the response to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV remains a major global public health issue, having claimed 40+ million lives. There is no cure for HIV infection. However, with access to effective HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care, HIV has become a manageable chronic health condition. The good news: HIV can be diagnosed through rapid diagnostic tests that provide same-day results. We help communities lead - by empowering them with easy, accessible diagnostic testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Lead your community to a healthier tomorrow with Primary.Health testing, vaccination, and preventive care: https://lnkd.in/grTJGdjz #WorldAidsDay #HIV #AIDS #rapidtesting #healthdiagnostics #publichealth #communityhealth

Something you should know about #hiv!  Undetectable = Untransmittable. What does it mean and how well is it understood by our societies today?  Undetectable equals Untransmittable (#u=u) means that under effective HIV therapy, the virus cannot be sexually transmitted. A recent multi-country HIV survey across #austria, #greece and #switzerland explored public awareness, understanding and acceptance of U=U. The results clearly showed a limited recognition of U=U in all three countries. This lack of knowledge is often accompanied by HIV-associated stigma, social distancing, and misperceptions about HIV transmission. The survey underlines the remaining importance of effective awareness campaigns and education to spread the U=U message, and helps foster a more informed and supportive public stance towards people living with HIV.  Learn more about the survey results during the poster presentation (WEPED341) at #aids2024. #gileademployee

The goal of ending HIV/AIDS is realistic

Let’s help reduce stigmas relating to HIV - Antiretroviral treatment, or ART works by reducing the amount of the virus in the blood to undetectable levels. This means the levels of HIV are so low that the virus cannot be passed on. This is called having an undetectable viral load or being undetectable. Undetectable = Untransmissable.
