5 Things People Get Wrong About HIV - Demetre Daskalakis, MD, MPH

Dr. Demetre addresses 5 misconceptions people usually get wrong about HIV. You are not able to get HIV from everyday items or casual contact. People whose viral load is undetectable cannot transmit to their sexual partners. The best way to control your HIV is through antiretroviral medications. Having a lot of sexual partners is not the reason people get HIV, it is exposure to HIV. Lastly, if you think you may have been exposed to HIV, ask to be tested.
