TRANSCRIPT:
I'm Dr. Demetre Daskalakis. Your HIV doctor.
So, status neutral is an idea of how we should really be...approaching people who are living with or at risk for HIV in a way that...really addresses what their personal needs are rather than their status.
It is really about taking care of yourself. So, that HIV test result, negative or positive, is a celebration cuz you can do something about it.
If it's negative, you can take me up on the PrEP idea.
And, if it's positive, we can link you to care to make sure that you have what you need, get undetectable, and live a longer, healthier, happier life, not transmitting to your sex partners.
