"In my 30 years of living with HIV I have witnessed it all; from we have no treatment so make your final arrangements, to HIV treatment works and can prevent the transmission of HIV to sexual partners while living a full and productive life. I could never have imagined that 30 years later I would still be here and able to share this message of Undetectable = Untransmittable."
In honour of World AIDS Day 2018, Mark shares his story. Read it here: https://hivcl.org/2018/11/27/w...orld-aid s-day-2018-35-30-30/

New report from the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality finds that Canadian HIV prevention strategies can overlook the needs of women and people of colour.
“We should create guidelines that are consistent with the way people live their lives – however complex that may be... guidelines should be based on behaviour and the patients’ clinical history and not their sexual orientation or the HIV status of their partner.”
