Bruce Richman is the founding executive director of the Prevention Access Campaign (PAC), which united activists and researchers in 2016 to build and communicate a scientific consensus about a largely unknown fact: people living with HIV who are on treatment and have an undetectable viral load cannot sexually transmit HIV.

U=U is a thriving and growing community-led health and human rights movement of activists, researchers, and over 1,000 Community Partners from 105 countries. U=U has been endorsed by the global medical and scientific community including the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health, and UNAIDS. Together, we are changing what it means to live and love with HIV worldwide. 
 
Bruce and the U=U campaign have been featured extensively in national and international media including The Washington Post, TODAY show, USA Today, China Global Television, CNN, The Guardian, Daily Mail, CBC Canada, South Africa Medical Digest, and JAMA.
