Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U)
U=U
Viral load is the term used to describe the amount of HIV in the body at any one time. It is determined with a blood test.
A higher viral load is associated with a higher risk of HIV transmission. When a person living with HIV is on effective treatment and the level of virus (viral load) in the body is so low that it cannot be detected (is ‘undetectable’), HIV cannot be transmitted to sexual partners. This is also known as ‘undetectable’ equals ‘untransmittable’ (U=U).
