AIDSWatch Advocate Briefs
Thanks to treatment advances, health care reform, and comprehensive public
health interventions, the HIV epidemic can now be managed as a chronic
medical condition. When the disease is properly managed, people living with HIV
can maintain sustained viral suppression and are thus unable to transmit the virus to
sexual partners. Ending the HIV epidemic, however, will require strong leadership,
informed legislation, evidence-based initiatives, and recognition that any response
to this public health crisis must be rooted in a racial and social justice framework.
