Can having a low hiv viral load actually prevent some transmission?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me clarify: It's not the fact that a low viral load prevents transmission it's that a low viral load has less of a chance of being transmitted as an infection. In simple terms it's all about the type of exposure, h the duration of the exposure, and the intensity of the viral load that helps determine transmissibility.
