| Response from Dr. Henry
 The risk for transmission to another person from sex is reduced significantly when the HIV level is undetectable though the risk is not zero. Sperm washing, pre-exposure prophylaxis use of HIV drugs, and timing of intercourse via monitoring for ovulation are all possible ways to further reduce risk for transmission. I would discuss with your HIV doctor with your partner present. KH | ||||||||
