Over a quarter of a sample of HIV-positive gay and bisexual men in a relationship with an HIV-negative partner did not have an accurate understanding of their current viral load, investigators from the United States report in the online edition of the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. Laboratory viral load results showed that a fifth of men who believed that they were undetectable currently had a detectable viral load, and that 7.5% were virally suppressed when they thought their viral load was detectable.
Perhaps significantly, the participants were initially recruited to take part in an adherence intervention and 48% of HIV-positive men had less than perfect adherence to their antiretroviral medication in the previous month.

In case you havent been keeping up, the newest campaign of misinformation is the U=U lie, Undetectable = Untransmittable (HIV). AS if these statuses are fixed and static.
The Red Cross has changed the donor rules, as well. In the past they donated to get a free test. Now they donate for pc. The antivirals that “make the virus undetectable gives the entire world a false sense of being cured.
I dont watch a lot of network tv, but is there a commercial advertising a product to hide HIV?
Love is not expressed by misusing the body of another person.
Courts don't seem to care if an active HIV person transmits the disease the
a person who did not give prior consent with full knowledge.
Hell, they want these people to be able to donate blood with no restrictions.
This disgusts me to the max.
Ever since Surgeon General C. Everet Koop, this has been mishandled
every step of the way > IMO.
Hey, it's not a homosexual disease. Say, what're you doing later?
Wanna go to the bath-house later?
All their loads are harmful. Dirtbags...
Homo #1: “Hey pal, ya want my load?” Homo #2: “Is it a detectible load?” Homo #1: “Nope. It’s a virally suppressed load”. Homo #2: “Well okay then big daddy, fire when ready!”
I think you’re referring to a drug called “Truvada for Prep.” Google it or watch the perverted commercials on youtube.
“Current viral load” just doesn’t sound right.
Well, HIV-infected probably figure that it doesn’t hurt to pass on the virus. A bigger worry is one patient’s meds didn’t work, and, if more patients don’t know their current viral load, then....
Another note: I read some articles that said HIV-infected age 15 years, which I assume means they die 15 years early. Plus, HIV causes cognitive problems, like dementia.
The vector for this disease (known initially as “the gay plague”) was well known before it spread to normal people.
But liberals refused to isolate the vector - and instead made AIDS the first disease with civil rights.
“I dont watch a lot of network tv, but is there a commercial advertising a product to hide HIV?”
I don’t think so.
Imagine applying that to rabies.
So...is that raccoon still safe to pet or what?
That commercial confuses me.
Is the only apparent lady really a lady and if she is, why is she taking it?
So confused by those “people”.
It causes a whole host of health problems, even when successfully treated and suppressed. And the treatment meds come with their own debilitating side effects, like bone loss, kidney and liver stress, and chronic digestive issues. These arent aspirin, they are potent, life-long drugs that the body was not designed to manage.
I couldnt find the commercial you mentioned, but did find a parody commercial critical of PrEP by a drag queen, and a legit PrEP commercial with the comments turned off and twice as many downvotes as upvotes. Could people be waking up?
If it were up to me, I would eliminate all spending on AIDS with the exception of those who caught the virus through a blood transfusion.
