CAMPAIGN TO GET UNTRANSMITTABLE ADDED TO THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the campaign by HIV Scotland to have the word untransmittable added to the Oxford English Dictionary; recognises that the word has been used globally as part of the U=U campaign reflecting the scientific evidence that someone living with HIV who is on treatment and has an undetectable viral load cannot pass the virus on to their sexual partners; urges the Oxford English Dictionary to add the word to their next update to recognise this important scientific advance in the fight against HIV-stigma; and invites all hon. Members to spread the word that undetectable equals untransmittable.
