My City Talks: Bringing HIV Awareness to Your Community

Today marks the launch of My City Talks, our new initiative bringing vital health conversations directly to communities throughout the year. We're kicking off with an essential discussion on HIV awareness, prevention, and support.

Why HIV Awareness Matters

HIV prevention and treatment have come a long way, yet awareness remains crucial. Modern medicine offers powerful tools like PrEP for prevention and effective treatments that can make the virus undetectable and untransmittable. However, these advancements only work when people know about them and have access to care.

Key Facts Everyone Should Know

• Regular testing is recommended for everyone aged 13-64
• PrEP can effectively prevent HIV transmission
• With proper treatment, people living with HIV can achieve undetectable status
• Support systems and resources are available nationwide
