Thứ 3 tuần trước, hơn 300 người đã tới tham dự Lễ phát động Chiến dịch Quốc gia K=K (Không phát hiện = Không lây truyền) do Cục Phòng chống HIV/AIDS Việt Nam (VAAC) và Trung tâm Kiểm soát và Phòng ngừa bệnh dịch Hoa Kỳ (CDC)/PEPFAR tổ chức tại Bệnh viện Bạch Mai Hà Nội. Phát biểu tại lễ khai mạc, Phó Đại sứ Hoa Kỳ tại Việt Nam, bà Caryn R. McClelland chia sẻ: “K=K có nghĩa là mọi kỳ thị đối với HIV nên được xóa bỏ và không còn rào cản nào tồn tại để bất cứ ai cũng có thể biết được về tình trạng HIV của mình... K=K có nghĩa là chúng ta nên khuyến khích xét nghiệm HIV cho tất cả những người có nguy cơ, nhằm điều trị ARV sớm cho những người sống chung với HIV và điều trị dự phòng trước phơi nhiễm, hay PrEP, cho những người HIV âm tính. Bằng cách này, chúng ta có thể ngăn chặn sự lây truyền HIV.”

Last Tuesday, over 300 people joined the Vietnam Authority for HIV/AIDS Control (VAAC) and CDC/PEPFAR to launch the National K=K [Undetectable equals Untransmittable] Campaign at Bach Mai National Hospital in Hanoi. “K equals K means that HIV stigma should be eradicated and that no barriers to knowing their HIV status should exist for anyone,” U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission McClelland stated in her opening remarks. “K equals K means that we should encourage HIV testing for all at-risk individuals, with the aim of early treatment with antiretroviral medications for those living with HIV, and pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, for prevention among those who are HIV-negative. In this way, we can stop the transmission of HIV.”
