 Hello. Taking antiretroviral medications that drive the HIV viral load to undetectable levels significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission, but doesn't eliminate it completely. Consequently the answer to your question is yes, an HIVer with an undetectable viral load can infect a negative partner by having unprotected sex. It's fortunate that you have tested negative so far. I would advise you not press your luck. You should use latex condoms for all penetrative sex. You'll also need HIV testing three and six months from your last exposure to be certain you have not contracted the virus. Good luck. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
