HIV Myths and Facts

ABOUT THIS SESSION

HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is surrounded by many myths and misconceptions that can lead to stigma and misinformation. Common myths include the belief that HIV can be transmitted through casual contact like hugging or sharing utensils, which is untrue. In reality, HIV is only spread through specific body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Effective antiretroviral therapies are available that allow people with HIV to live long, healthy lives and reduce the virus to undetectable levels, significantly lowering the risk of transmission. Join us in this session with Dr. Viny Kantroo and Dr. Udaykumar Jadav on June 13 at 7:00 p.m. to learn more about the topic.
