Heterosexual Transmission

[INFECTED_2004]

Not a question

As an infected female I found out about my positive status while pregnant my son was born negative and I had been positive for two years my husband was not infected during this time so yes evidence does suggest that the prevalence of transmission from female to male is extremely low if not non-esixtant especially if the woman is on effective HAART treatment with an undetectable viral load and no other active STD/STI infections.

Even if you are serum nondetectable has nothing to do with your semen or vaginal fluids being undetectable nor does is indicate that it is safe to have unprotected sex. .
