The PARTNER2 study found no transmission of #HIV between gay couples where one is HIV-undetectable and the other is HIV-negative. They had condomless anal sex 76,000 times. Someone who is HIV-undetectable cannot pass on the virus through sex #UequalsU

This is outrageous. 56 Dean Street has been a key part to succees in reducing new HIV infections. We need to be increasing the numbers of people testing, not reducing them. Cutting sexual health funding will only have a negative impact on HIV and STI rates.
