CLIENT: Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM) and the National Association of People with HIV Australia (NAPWHA)
PROJECT: U=U Guidance for Healthcare Professionals & Infant Feeding Guidelines for People Living with HIV
2021

The ASHM U=U Guidance for Healthcare Professionals is a document designed to educate and update outdated evidence around HIV and transmission. The evidence around this report has been know for many years, but sometimes not embraced. This guide aims to bridge the gap between health care professionals and people living with HIV. This report published by the ASHM sets a new global standard, making Australia the first country in the world to adopt a national framework that unequivocally supports the science behind the U=U message.

ASHM and NAPWHA set out to update the Infant Feeding guidelines for both Healthcare Providers and the HIV Positive Community. The updated resources allowed for all the the information to be included in one place, to help both readers to be able to understand all of the options available to them. The ASHM resource will help to educate and remove stigma in healthcare, while the NAPWHA resource will allow for the empowerment of community members to have access to this knowledge.
