Hello drs quick question when is hiv is more contagious? acute stage or chronic stage, thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contagiousness depends on the viral load in circulation, untreated, both acute and chronic are contagious. A person on regular anti HIV treatment with no detectable virus in blood is generally not contagious.
