Something you should know about #hiv!  Undetectable = Untransmittable. What does it mean and how well is it understood by our societies today?  Undetectable equals Untransmittable (#u=u) means that under effective HIV therapy, the virus cannot be sexually transmitted. A recent multi-country HIV survey across #austria, #greece and #switzerland explored public awareness, understanding and acceptance of U=U. The results clearly showed a limited recognition of U=U in all three countries. This lack of knowledge is often accompanied by HIV-associated stigma, social distancing, and misperceptions about HIV transmission. The survey underlines the remaining importance of effective awareness campaigns and education to spread the U=U message, and helps foster a more informed and supportive public stance towards people living with HIV.  Learn more about the survey results during the poster presentation (WEPED341) at #aids2024. #gileademployee

December is HIV Awareness Month, a time to educate, reduce stigma, and support those affected by HIV/AIDS. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in prevention and treatment. A recent article from ScienceDaily highlights advancements toward an HIV cure. Researchers have developed a virus-like particle capable of effectively 'shocking and killing' latent HIV reservoirs in individuals with chronic HIV. This breakthrough brings us closer to eradicating the virus.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay2024. A lot of progress was made since the discovery of #HIV, thanks to incredible scientific breakthrough and treatment. Yet, close to 40 million people are living with HIV, out of which one in four are still not accessing life-saving treatment. In sub-Saharan #Africa – the region most affected by HIV – fewer than half of adolescents and young people have comprehensive knowledge of HIV. At UNESCO, we know that #education is a powerful tool to reduce new HIV infections. It empowers young people to protect themselves from HIV, unintended pregnancy and preventable infections, encourages them to seek out health-related information and services, promotes values of tolerance and respect, and supports a safe transition into adulthood. UNESCO supports national education authorities and partners to strengthen their existing curricula and adapt content and approaches to their local context. Our work aims to provide young people with the knowledge and information needed to stay healthy and learning in a school that is safe and inclusive. As one of the six founding cosponsors UNAIDS, UNESCO contributes to SDG target 3.3 to end the AIDS epidemic. This year, human rights are at the centre with this Day calling all of us to take the 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 path. We can and must #EndAIDS altogether, through quality education and through collective commitment.

We share the same goal as millions around the world: to end the #HIV epidemic. To be successful, it will take a global response, utilising all the resources available to us at every level of society. On this #WorldAIDSDay, we reflect on the progress made and the work still to be done. This year’s theme, "Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress," calls for #collaboration across governments, organisations, and communities to address the ongoing challenges and to build a future free from HIV. Let’s continue to unite in our efforts, raise #awareness, and push for stronger action to ensure no one is left behind in the fight against HIV.
