About Life4me+

One of the main goals of Life4me+ — is to prevent new cases of HIV and other STIs, hepatitis C and tuberculosis. So we talk about HIV and other diseases: how to protect yourself from them, how to live with them.

Campaign U=U (#UequalsU)

The information and education campaign "U=U" ("Undetectable equals untransmittable", #UequalsU, #НравноН), organized by Life4me + in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region, aimed at disseminating information that an HIV-positive person with an undetectable viral load can not transmit the virus to another person sexually. Many studies have shown that in a sero-discordant couple where the HIV-positive partner took ARV therapy and maintained an undetectable viral load, there were no reported cases of sexual transmission of HIV.

For those who monitor their own health.

The Life4me+ app will automatically remind you of tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and for when to take medications. The app helps to establish communication between physicians and patient. It allows you to conveniently organize your medication timetable and to set private and personalized reminders, get doctor's prescriptions, and schedule doctor’s appointments or blood tests. You can also enter test results in the app yourself so you will always have them at hand. The GPS navigator helps you find a nearby hospital, clinic, pharmacy, laboratory, peer-to-peer counseling or HIV community organization anywhere in the world. The app also lists city and regional hotlines, which will offer assistance.
