Data prove that investing in the health and well-being of people living with HIV not only benefits those of us living with HIV but represents a powerful societal, economic, and public health “win-win” for communities and countries. U=U is a powerful rationale in advocacy for universal access to HIV treatment and care, including against HIV criminalization, which is unjust and impedes public health. U=U is a rallying cry in many parts of the world to treat people with HIV with dignity and to break the structural barriers to accessing information, treatment, and care in order to save lives and end new transmissions. How can we use this remarkable science-based fact to strengthen our rights-based advocacy for people living with HIV?

U=U education accelerates each of the 95-95-95 global targets by improving testing, treatment, and viral suppression rates. U=U is considered the driving factor in reducing new transmissions at the population level. It is a critical tool in advocacy to end discriminatory laws, policies, and practices.
