There is growing interest in the evidence that antiretroviral therapy (ART) can be used not only as treatment for people living with HIV, but to prevent or reduce transmission of HIV.

This paper focuses on the prevention of sexual transmission from persons living with HIV through the use of ART. The paper focuses on what this means for people living with HIV (at an individual level) and what it means for public health (at the population level).

Informed by a consultation with GNP+’s Board and Secretariat, it articulates conditions needed for treatment as prevention to work effectively while protecting the rights of people living with HIV.
