HIV - no longer detectable under therapy
HIV is a common worldwide chronic infection, affecting 38 million people of which about 16,600 live in Switzerland. Approximately a third of people who are HIV positive are unaware of their Infection.
The cornerstone of modern HIV management is the use of antiretroviral therapy (HAART). HAART has led to people living with HIV having a viral load under the level of detection (undetectable viral load), which means they:
- do not transmit the virus through sexual contact to their partner.
- are less likely to transmit the virus through other ways of transmission.
- less likely to become sick because of HIV
- have a near normal life span.
- have children who are not infected with HIV.
