Getting tested for HIV is so important. It’s the only way to know your status. If you don’t want to go to your local GP or sexual health clinic to get checked, you can order a confidential home testing kit online: . @ViiVHC

To stop stigma we need to share the facts:⁣.⁣.1️⃣ HIV is a manageable virus. 2️⃣ Effective medication makes the virus undetectable which means you can’t pass it on to sexual partners⁣.⁣.3️⃣ People living with HIV on effective medication can live long healthy lives .⁣.@ViiVHC

People living with HIV on effective medication can't pass it on to their sexual partner! It's so simple and important, yet there is still misunderstanding 🙏. Take our Tackle HIV quiz to find out how much you know @ViiVHC

HIV can affect anyone. But you’ll only know your status by getting tested regularly. If positive, you can access the care you need quickly and continue to live a healthy life 👏⁣. @ViiVHC

Since being diagnosed with HIV, @gareththomas14 has had some amazing support from specialist nurses. An HIV clinical nurse specialist in Cardiff was the first person who provided care to him and gave Gareth the strength to share his diagnosis 🙌. @ViiVHC

Stigma, and self-stigma, can have a damaging effect on people living with HIV. With education, we can eliminate the stigma and provide a better environment for those who receive a HIV positive diagnosis!. @ViiVHC

Discrimination comes from misinformation and misunderstanding. HIV isn’t something to be fearful of. Make sure you know the facts. @ViiVHC

Undetectable = Untransmittable . U=U means that you CANNOT pass HIV onto your sexual partner whilst you are on effective treatment 💪. @ViiVHC
