摘要

2022 年，南非的青少年艾滋病发病率位居全球第二。这项研究的参与者是生活在南非的 15-19 岁男孩，他们目前处于约会或性关系中，并在 10 岁之前被诊断出感染了艾滋病毒。尽管我们发起了 "检测不到等于不会传播"（U = U）的宣传活动，但我们的研究结果表明，相当多的青少年艾滋病感染者并不了解这一概念。这凸显了将 "U = U "信息纳入与医护人员的持续对话中的重要性，因为这可能会对青少年的健康、传播风险认知和安全性行为产生积极影响。

Missed opportunity: low awareness of undetectable equals untransmittable (U = U) among adolescents living with HIV.

In 2022, South Africa (SA) had the second-highest HIV incidence rate among adolescents worldwide. This study's participants were boys living in SA aged 15-19 years old, in a current dating or sexual relationship, and diagnosed with HIV before the age of 10. Despite the launch of campaigns to spread awareness of Undetectable equals Untransmittable (U = U), our findings showed that a significant number of adolescents living with HIV do not demonstrate an understanding of the concept. This highlights the importance of integrating U = U messaging in ongoing conversations with healthcare workers given the potential positive impact on adolescent wellbeing, transmission risk perception, and safer sexual practices.
