“It has been a year of personal transformations. It has been a year of great news for many of us and a challenge for others. It has been a year when a community movement blossomed. It has been a year where people living with HIV led rather than followed. It has been a year where we talked science a lot – in this case around the risk of transmission – and people got it. It has been a year where people living with HIV became the experts. It has been a year which gave us a tool to finally put a real dent in HIV stigma, to access for treatment, to feel safe again. In import, it has been a year which matched 1996, the year antiretroviral therapies were introduced. It has been the year of Undetectable = Untransmittable, the year of U=U, the year of #uequalsu.”
