A member asked:
Can a person continue having sexual relations with their partner even if they have hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are 3 ways to prevent infection. (1) the positive partner should be on treatment with an undetectable viral load. This is the most important prevention method. (2) condoms, especially for intercourse when the positive partner is insertive (the one "on top"). (3) prep: use of HIV medications by the negative partner (probably unnecessary if you're using methods 1 or 2.
