菠菜网lol正规平台 to Zero tabling on 7th street plaza

菠菜网lol正规平台 To Zero is an HIV advocacy project based at San José State University, engaging with students, staff, faculty, and community partners to promote HIV education and stigma reduction on campus.

We table throughout the semester and sponsor HIV educational programming for student organizations, classes, and for the campus community.

HIV Education

Untransmittable = Undetectable

  • HIV is Untransmittable if Undetectable in a person’s viral load 

Viral Load

  • Viral Load refers to the amount of HIV in a blood sample of a person living with HIV

Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)

  • The daily use of a combination of HIV drugs to suppress the virus

Undetectable Viral Load

Undetectable means the amount of HIV in the blood is too low to be detected with a viral load test. Effective ART may reduce a person's viral load to an undetectable level. Undetectable does not mean the person is cured; they are still HIV positive, but they will not sexually transmit HIV to others.

Medications

PrEP

PrEP is an HIV prevention pill for people who have a higher risk of acquiring HIV. Taking one PrEP pill a day can lower your chances of getting HIV by over 99%. That’s more effective than condoms.  

PEP

PEP is an HIV prevention pill that you take if you’re not already on PrEP, and you think you’ve been exposed to HIV. Take PEP within 3 days and reduce your risk of contracting HIV by over 90%.
