Abstract
Treatment as prevention (TasP) refers to the use of antiretroviral therapy to reduce HIV viremia to 'undetectable' levels which in turn eliminates the risk of HIV transmission. Significant efforts have been made to increase awareness and understanding of TasP in many countries but not in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) where HIV remains a highly stigmatized condition especially in men who have sex with men. In this editorial, we discuss the effectiveness of TasP and public understanding of it, with a focus on men who have sex with men living in the EMR. We argue that increasing awareness and understanding of TasP could enable the concentrated epidemic in men who have sex with men in the EMR to move closer towards the UNAIDS target of 90-90-90.
