For those of us living with #HIV who have the privilege of being open and out about our status, we need to stand up and be seen today, on #ZeroHIVStigmaDay. This is how we face stigma.
🆕 BREAKING – New @WHO guidance – People living with #HIV who achieve an undetectable viral load who are on consistent ART can not pass HIV on to their sexual partner(s) & are at low risk of transmitting HIV vertically to their children. #UequalsU#IAS2023 https://t.co/uvqWixBha6
Breaking: A paper in @TheLancet finds that not only do people with HIV who are on antiretrovirals and maintain a viral load <200 have zero risk of transmission via sex, but there is a nearly zero chance of transmitting with a viral load <1,000. #IAS2023 #UequalsU 🧵https://t.co/nvKpPpKeMQ
Please take 3 minutes out of your life to watch Professor Chloe Orkin (@profchloeorkin) assure Gareth Thomas that there is zero risk of #HIV transmission, sexually or casually, when #undetectable.
Then share it.
#UequalsU - tell someone today.
MN Police claimed George Floyd died of a “medical incident” & made 0 mention of kneeling on his neck for 9 min
Memphis Police claimed Tyre Nichols had “trouble breathing” & made 0 mention of beating him for 10 min
Media needs to hold police accountable—not parrot their claims.
Every Black, brown, & white person who condemned the murder of Tamir Rice, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Aiyana Jones, & more by white cops, now loudly condemn the murder of Tyre Nichols by Black cops.
But suddenly "Blue Lives Matter" crew is silent.🤔
I don't deserve tried this Life!!
I don't deserve it ...
All the people who have supported me. The adventures. The smiles & laughter. The challenges. The beauty. The pain. The wisdom. The tears. The joy. The suffering. The liberation from suffering.
The moments like this...
Today is a good day where I shall rise, where we all shall rise above those things that try to bring us down. Today is a day where U=U Plus shall bring me through to do all the things that I desire to do. Today I am Free. #UequalsUPlus @murray_penner @DavinaConner
