ViiV Healthcare Extends U=U Partnership with PAC, Launches Digital Campaign to Address HIV Stigma — ViiV Healthcare Limited

Event summary

ViiV Healthcare and Prevention Access Campaign (PAC) celebrate 10 years of the U=U movement with a new digital campaign, 'Undetectable Voices'.
The initiative aims to bridge the gap between scientific understanding of U=U and real-world application in HIV care.
Research shows only 40% of U.S. healthcare workers communicate U=U effectively, highlighting a critical need for improved training.
The campaign aligns with ViiV's 'Do It For Future You' initiative, focusing on long-term HIV prevention and treatment strategies.

The big picture

ViiV Healthcare's extended partnership with PAC underscores the ongoing challenge of reducing HIV stigma through scientific communication. Despite a decade of U=U advocacy, gaps in healthcare worker training and patient understanding persist, necessitating targeted campaigns like 'Undetectable Voices'. This initiative reflects broader industry efforts to integrate community voices into HIV prevention and treatment strategies, particularly as pharmaceutical companies like ViiV Healthcare continue to prioritize long-term public health impacts alongside commercial goals.
