Background:

  • Self-disclosure of HIV to sexual partners is often a source of HIV-related stigma.
  • Eliminating stigma is fundamental to achieving the U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (EHE) goals.
  • Individual-level awareness that people with HIV who have an undetectable viral load cannot sexually transmit HIV reduces anticipated HIV stigma
  • Using patient portals to self-disclose an undetectable HIV viral load may support EHE goals
