• Description:
  Recent scientific advances have shown that antiretroviral therapy (ART) not only preserves the health, quality of life, and life expectancy of people living with HIV, but people living with HIV who take HIV medicine as prescribed and get and keep an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to their HIV-negative sexual partners.
  
  These developments have transformed the nation’s approach to HIV prevention. By ensuring that everyone with HIV is aware of their infection, receives the treatment they need, and achieves sustained viral suppression, we can sharply reduce new infections in the United States.
  
  This vision is a core focus of CDC’s high-impact HIV prevention strategy, which aims to achieve the greatest possible reductions in HIV infections by making sure that resources go to the regions, populations, and prevention strategies where they will have the greatest impact.
