NASTAD reaffirms the conclusive scientific evidence that people living with HIV who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and are durably virally suppressed (defined as having a consistent viral load of less than <200 copies/ml) do not sexually transmit HIV. This renewed statement and recommitment actions for governmental public health reinforces our longstanding work to end the dual epidemics of HIV and HIV-related stigma and to dramatically reduce new HIV infections through policies and public health practice grounded in science.
