Undetectable equals Un Transmissible that something
a hiv research is want everyone around the world to know they released landmark evidence this week showing that taking drugs to treat hiv completely stops people being able to pass on the virus to their hiv a negative partner is and so theyre hopeful an end to hiv aids may finally be inside our Reporter Jerrod Rate has been raiding the research explain these findings for us basically what this means is if that everyone who had a in the world so just under forty Million People if they had access to effective treatment then they would be no new cases of hiv and the treatment im talking about is whats called antiretroviral drugs these suppress the levels of hiv in the blood to very very low levels and this study basically looked at a thousand gay couples in europe where one of the partners was negative and the other was hiv positive bots receiving these antiretroviral drugs and these were couple couples that were having sex without
a condom and basically what it found was that overnight you period there was no instances of hiv positive partner infecting the hiv negative patna and what the authors now say is that People Living with hiv who are on effective treatment are not able to pass on the virus to sexual partners and they can say this definitively because the research that found the same thing that was done on heterosexual couples was incredible research then i mean and you say that they come to transmit it now so what does it mean for People Living with a disease will. People living with hiv face a lot of stigma and discrimination around the world and this stigma really hasnt caught up with the advances in modern medicine over the last thirty or so years when now its very possible to take these antiretroviral drugs and live a perfectly normal lifespan and not have to to worry about possibly on the virus to your partners so its i guess the hope is that the stigma reduces so definitely
a giant step forward but still no cure as such thats right these drugs do not cure hiv its important to say they do like i said reduce the levels of the virus in the blood to very very low levels where it cant be detected that sounds quite simple then why cant we just give everyone with hiv the proper treatment so there are lots of kind of barriers to effective treatment some of them the stigma and discrimination like i mentioned things like homophobia and fear but also access to treatment and testing and this is very important in areas like easton and Southern Africa where Infection Rights are high so there are a bunch of countries like the us in the u. K. That want to stop infections in around ten years time and this is certainly possible with evidence like this but it isnt possible if not everyone can get tested and get tested regularly and then receive these these drugs these
antiretroviral drugs so an end to hiv aids is possible but only with Effective Health care structures in place to make sure that those affected get the testing and the treatment they need to still a ways to go about incredible incredible rate such charity thank you very much for.
