HIV Myths Still Spreading in South Africa (What the Science Says)

In this video, I break down common HIV myths that are still spreading in 2026, particularly in South Africa. While HIV is not new, the science and healthcare landscape have evolved, and public understanding has not always kept up. I unpack common misconceptions about HIV transmission, explain what U=U really means, and discuss key facts about antiretroviral treatment (ARVs/ART). This video is aimed at replacing fear-based, outdated narratives with accurate, evidence-based information.
