He said in a tweet that people living with HIV positive may now have a similar life expectancy like those without, as long they were diagnosed in time and have proper treatment and support. Another key for people with HIV to live longer is a healthy lifestyle.

Hodson also shares that having treatment doesn’t only mean to live a long and healthy life but also a possibility that an HIV positive can’t pass the virus to their sexual partner. This happens when the virus is suppressed to “Undetectable level” which means “Untransmittable” this is what they call “UequasU”
