U=U

U = U stands for "undetectable = untransmittable" (in German: "not detectable = not transferable").

This means:

  • People with HIV who are undergoing effective therapy and whose viral load in the blood is permanently below the detection limit lies,
  • can transmit HIV during sex Do not pass on.

Important:

  • "Undetectable" means that no more HIV is found in the blood in a laboratory test - although the virus is still present in the body.
  • The prerequisite is consistent use of HIV medication and regular medical check-ups.

U=U shows that people with HIV who have been successfully treated No risk of transmission have. This has been clearly proven scientifically.
