 One of the benefits of antiretroviral treatment is lowering the risk of inadvertent transmission of HIV to an intimate partner in case of condom failure. So this positive element should enter into the decision whether or not to start HIV medications, but it is by no means the only reason to commence medications. | ||||||||
