Dr. MarkAlain Déry from Access Health Louisiana explains the basics of HIV and how to best manage this chronic disease with routine checkups. Fear not – HIV can be easily managed with as little as one pill a day. Once someone’s HIV viral load is undetectable by a standard blood test, they are untransmittable – meaning that they cannot pass HIV to their intimate partner.

This breakthrough, also known as U=U, is a game changer. People living with HIV are living the same quality and quantity of life as someone without living with HIV. This video also shares the perspective of Jared, who is recently diagnosed with HIV. We learn about his experience, and witness how he discusses his diagnosis with his intimate partner and physician.
