Nozibele Qamngana Speaks on How she Reached HIV U=U Status

"After being diagnosed with HIV in 2013, I thought my life was over. I didn’t see myself getting married or having children of my own.But look at where we are 10 years later?

My husband and I are about to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We also recently welcomed our healthy HIV negative baby boy, Lumingonaphakade.

How did we achieve this? The answer lies within U=U. When taken as prescribed, HIV medications can decrease the amount of HIV present in a person’s blood, or “HIV viral load”, to be too low to measure. This is called being undetectable.

Being undetectable prevents HIV disease from progressing, allows people to live long and healthy lives and prevents infecting another person. Undetectable equals untransmittable U=U.

Being diagnosed with HIV is not life limiting. If you want more information on how to achieve U=U, please visit www.uequalsu.co.za"
