Ok... Clearly there is an unstated assumption here of the couples having unprotected sex. I find it interesting that there is no indication to the contrary.

Great news reading this. There is a great piece of mind knowing that even though I use condoms and should one breaks, my partner is risk free. It's comforting but will continue using condoms just the same.

That's great news. It's a shame that the Gay Community (especially in places like San Fransico) have become so polarized. People living with HIV, regardless of how health, their great lifestyles, and undetectable HIV status remains completely UNWANTED. The HIV- Community in SF still believes HIV is casusally transmitted. One alarming statistic is gathered by simply looking at the number of posts on Gay Dating and "hookup" sites where Profiles now indicate things like "no POS guys, no HIV+ guys.

A new study is showing "no-one with an undetectable viral load, gay or heterosexual, transmits HIV in first two years" www.bit.ly/1fOx5D7

This article does not mention if condoms were used. Also does not indicate if these people had anal intercourse. Both factors effect the risk of infection

Works for gay people too. But they won't publish that, since we can't have children. Been with my partner for 3 years, he's still negative. Have friends in Margate, they've been together 15 years now; also, his partner is still negative. It amazes me how despite all the available evidence, not one study has been done on this to help the gay community. It really could save relationships and unstigmatise those of us who did the responsible thing by getting tested. It would also add inscentive

This is the best news I have heard! I have been so afarid of possible infecting of a neg partner that the relationship is on ends. This takes a serious "load" off my chest! We will be using safe sex practices and I won't have to worry about infecting him. I have been non detectable for 7 years. I am now going to give the "yes" to his marriage question. We have been in the relationship for 1 year and he has not pressured me about having sex.Thank you for this much needed information!
