This week, researchers from UNC Chapel Hill are presenting an exciting new study that showed early treatment of HIV-infected people led to a 96 percent reduction in transmission of the the virus to their uninfected partners. This study is exciting news, and we're proud that this ground-breaking research came from right here in North Carolina.
These prevention benefits, however, rely on early detection and early treatment of HIV. It is therefore essential that North Carolina fully support HIV testing and treatment services.
North Carolina needs to ensure that HIV testing and treatment is made a top budget priority. Without a full funding commitment to early detection and early treatment, North Carolina may miss out a huge opportunity to fight the spread of HIV.
