Your regular reminder that people living with HIV who are receiving treatment and have an undetectable viral load CANNOT TRANSMIT THE VIRUS. You are more likely to get HIV from someone who thinks they're negative than someone who knows they're positive and undetectable.

Wondering why some people have unique handles that don't end in "bsky.social"? 👀

You can set your website as your handle! Purchase and manage a domain through Bluesky here: account.bsky.app

We especially encourage official organizations to self-verify their account with their website.

If you've been on here for more than a few days, and you haven't made a post yet, or put anything in your profile, and your profile pic is still the blank blue icon, please post something.
