why would you even consider that? just because your viral load is undetectable does NOT mean that you are not infectious.

An HIV + person CANNOT "reinfect" themselves. Another HIV+ person can "Superinfect" them. This is based on many factors such as strain/type of virus, resistance, mutations etc. HIV+ couples should always use condoms during sex.

P.S. Unless of course they are in a monogamous relationship where it is confirmed through genotype and other testing , that one was infected by the other. When on HAART, there is the potential for mutations which may cause superinfection.
