Treatment = Prevention
Today an exciting and ground breaking announcement that will turn the tide of HIV/AIDS was made from a recent study’s findings on treatment as prevention. Results from this study showed that those partners infected with HIV, on anti-retroviral treatment, reduced the risk of transmitting HIV to their uninfected partner by 96%.
The implications of these results prove the need for universal access now more than ever. As Keep a Child Alive was founded on the basis of providing access to anti-retroviral treatment when it was not readily available, we continue this fight. Leigh Blake, co-founder of KCA has been speaking about treatment as a method of prevention for years but until now there was little acceptable proof from past studies. Because of this exciting result, it is of primary importance for all in the AIDS movement to focus on universal access to save the lives of so many and to save those who are at risk of contracting HIV.Read the news and study here.
