I tell young people ( I have had h.I.v. for 25 years) that once there is some data that is good news, there will be a down side. Example being a Med. to treat something will generally have a risk or a few years later researches will say that there is a unknown consequence. Even if h.I.v. is erradicated, there will be a new s.t.d. hot on it's heals. In 78 a friend of mine went to get treatment for the clap and the nurse there suggested he use condoms. We all laughed about it then. She was right.
As always, "more research needed". It would be valuable to have more data from people with undetectable VL's.
I have been undetectable for 18 years straight. I can't believe that there would be that much junk in my semen. Wouldn't I be less likely to carry these infections, being undetectable for 18 years? This article is disturbing to me as I leak semen. I thought undetectable gave less of a chance to pass this stuff on. This is a whole new ball game to me. Been dating HIV negative men for years with no angry phone calls. So does that just mean they have been lucky? I have been playing safe.

Haven't heard of this story and the story you printed needs to be easier to understand.
