The Big Brother winner and drag superstar drag superstar is educating people about U=U in a new campaign.

Courtney Act was enthusiastic when asked to host a video for the campaign
when she was in Auckland, New Zealand as part of her "Under The Covers" tour.
"An ex-boyfriend of mine is living with HIV," said Act in a statement. "He has an
undetectable viral load so I know first-hand how this can affect people in a
serodiscordant couple – which is where one partner is HIV-negative and one
is HIV-positive. It was great to know he could have much better health in the
long-run and that scientific evidence shows he was unable to pass on HIV on
to me, even without condoms. We live in a fear-based world where HIV stigma
can prevail, but armed with science and facts I was able to break down the
stigma in my own mind and be in a happy and healthy relationship with my
partner."
“For people living with HIV, the knowledge that undetectable equals
untransmittable is huge news, not only as a means of preventing transmission,
but in breaking down the stigma that many people still experience.”
