People need to see HIV as a chronic condition, because that’s what it is.

But as with any other chronic condition, HIV, just like diabetes, hypertension…you know, people need to take treatment to live a long, healthy life.

So the idea of, “I’m taking medication, I start feeling better, I don’t need it anymore,” is not really going to help, right? The idea of taking medication every day, or if it’s an injectable, is that it’s going to suppress the virus. It’s going to keep it very low, you’ll reach those undetectable levels to live long, healthy lives.
