Agreement of and discussion with clients about Undetectable equals Untransmissible among general practitioners in Australia: a cross-sectional survey

Jason Wu, Christopher K. Fairley, Daniel Grace, Eric P. F. Chow, Jason J. Ong The message that having an undetectable HIV viral load equals untransmissible (U=U) is important to reduce HIV stigma. It is unclear whether general practitioners (GPs) discuss U=U with their clients and what are the factors associated with this. We found that one in four GPs were neutral or disagreed with U=U, and U=U agreement was associated with greater odds of discussing U=U. Increasing health professionals’ confidence in U=U could help more clients become aware of and comfortable with U=U.
