New HIV status categories
Would be cool to add a neutral option for HIV status to help reduce stigma for people affected by HIV. (Affected being synonymous with at risk)
The neutral option would regroup people affected by HIV actively taking steps to avoid or mitigate HIV infection. A person who is seronegative and taking PREP and a person who is seropositive and undergoing treatment to remain undetectable would both fall into this category.

I’ve been wanting all the apps to adopt this for a long time. I suggest the option be called ‘HIV Protected’ or ‘PreP/U=U.’ There’s no need to leave room for discrimination against U=U guys anymore. What was all the progress we made for if we still segregate guys who pose no risk?
