The woman leaves her medical files with the doctor. \u201cShe does not keep any prescription or medical report related to her ailment at home for the fear of being caught and shamed. She has asked me not to mention her disease when she comes with a family member for her follow-up treatment,\u201d says Dr Goel.<\/p>\n<p>It is the advance treatment that allows the woman to live normally in the comfort of her family and home. \u201cShe is aware of her status and no longer feels she is suffering from a life-threatening disease or is a threat to anybody else,\u201d says Dr Goel. It is now proved that low viral load and effective treatment that suppresses the virus makes the disease non-transmittable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore testing, early detection, effective treatment and protection will remain the mainstay to end HIV-infection. We only need to replace shame and stigma with frank conversations,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6589,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[4532,4527,4529,4530,52,4531,4528],"class_list":["post-6588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aids-hiv","tag-1990s","tag-commemorate","tag-december-1","tag-diminished","tag-hiv","tag-since","tag-world-aids"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
