U=U: ASHM guidance for healthcare professionals draws on the latest evidence to inform healthcare providers about U=U and provides recommendations for speaking about U=U to all patients, including those newly diagnosed with HIV.
Key changes in this third edition of the guidance include:
In particular, the update draws on evidence from the Positive Perspectives 2 study presented earlier this year at the International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2020), demonstrating that positive health outcomes arise when PLHIV are informed about U=U by their healthcare provider.
When ASHM launched the first version of this document in 2018, it was the first clinical guidance on U=U to be published globally. This update represents ASHM’s ongoing commitment to ensuring healthcare providers have access to the latest clinical evidence about U=U, and that they understand its role in HIV prevention, reducing HIV stigma and improving the health and wellbeing of people living with HIV.
