Despite advancements in treatment of HIV and reductions in stigma surrounding a diagnosis, a care gap still exists among the communities who are the most affected. To help to increase the rate of care uptake, specifically the use of viral suppression treatments among people living with HIV, we featured real stories of the triumph and challenges of starting, and continuing, care for HIV. Through antiretroviral therapy (ART), each of these individuals have reached an undetectable viral load, giving them the freedom to live life on their terms.
