Terrence Higgins Trust’s (THT) are providing a free bitesize version of their ‘Can’t Pass It On’ training
Can’t Pass It On/ Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U)
Someone living with HIV and on effective treatment can’t pass it on. It's one of the most positive messages someone living with HIV can hear. It reduces the stigma around HIV and provides motivation to stay on treatment to keep both themselves and their sexual partners healthy.
In this online webinar you will be able to:
- Learn about the evidence behind U=U
- Understand from a patient’s perspective how to convey the U=U message to your patients.
- Understand the impact of U=U on people living with HIV
- Know how and when to raise U=U with your patients.
- Know how to talk about U=U to patients coming in for an HIV test
- Know why U=U is a game changer in the fight against HIV around the world
- Have the opportunity to ask questions
