Undetectable = Untransmissible: Unpacking HIV Risk and Transmission Concerns for Women Living With HIV

To explore some of the questions and concerns of women living with HIV regarding the broad application of U=U to their lives, ICASO commissioned a Community Brief on U=U for women living with HIV. Launched in September 2018 at the National AIDS Conference in Australia, this brief was written by a team of women living with HIV and was guided by a global community advisory committee, also made up by women living with HIV. Together they collected stories from over 65 women living with HIV from around the world and held two community consultations at the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam in July 2018 to refine and test the content and construction of the brief. In particular, this global brief focused upon capturing the voices of women living with HIV and contains quotes of over 20 women from every region in the world. Their voices illuminate the intensely personal experiences of pregnancy, motherhood and infant feeding as well as some of the nuances around sexuality.
