Awareness and Perceived Accuracy of Undetectable = Untransmittable: A Cross-Sectional Analysis With Implications for Treatment as Prevention Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men
Abstract
The Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) campaign was launched in 2016 to simultaneously reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) stigma and raise awareness about treatment as prevention. This research note assesses HIV-negative young men who have sex with men's U=U awareness and perceived accuracy to inform this population's combination HIV prevention strategies.
