What is the Impact of Antiretroviral Therapy on HIV Transmission?
One of the most significant impacts of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the reduction in HIV transmission rates. Studies have shown that individuals on consistent and effective ART with an undetectable viral load do not sexually transmit the virus to their partners, a concept encapsulated in the slogan Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U). This has profound implications for public health strategies aimed at reducing new HIV infections.
