Find Your Four: Being an ally to someone living with HIV

Find Your Four is a campaign developed and funded by Gilead Sciences, in collaboration with the HIV community.

Whether you know someone living with HIV or not, being an ally is a powerful step you can take to reduce HIV stigma in your community. But what does “being an ally” really mean? 

Put simply, it’s about being a good friend. You genuinely support them and are prepared to stand up for them. You’re there for them, during the good times and hard times. 

It’s also about helping others understand that people living with HIV who are on effective medication with an undetectable viral load can’t pass on HIV to their sexual partners. This is known as Undetectable equals Untransmittable (U=U).¹

To learn more, listen to Harun and his close friend Sarah as they answer questions that you may have about being an ally to someone living with HIV. 

Visit the Find Your Four website for more ways you can be an ally to the HIV community.
