TasP is an extension of standard public health practice, which does put the needs of the population as a whole higher than the needs of an infected subset of the population. Does the approach put unfair burdens on those of us with HIV? Of course. I don't see that changing. I also would advocate that if an HIV+ person refuses early treatment that choice must be respected by their caregivers, regardless of public health guidelines and official treatment recommendations.

I have had many negative boyfriends ( im not a ho -just had mental , untrusting , un diagnosed add/adhd , depression & attatchment issues ) lol- and none of them wanted to wear a rubber. We had many arguments about this as i cared & was scared. I did not know about the meds making my condition less transmitable. All of my ex's remain hiv negative & i have proof. Maybe because i was undetectable. Idk.... But thank god. We made love very much(often) ð???btw. Lol. Idk- maybe i took your article wrong

Um- i admit i have add/adhd & that maybe im not hearing your article right but i dont agree totally. I think that every hiv positive person should take whatever meds make them un- detectable & for their health & as a prevention for the the negative. I also believe that every human in this world should know this & that it is ok & safe to share love & sex with us that are positive. The positive should not have to suffer & be rejected & live alone for who we are with what we have.

early in the article u concede the medical necessity of early ARV treatment. u never claim to have changed ur medical opinion, only ur impression of the motives of those pushing earlier Treatment. if u learned that i have some REALLY creepy desire for u to eat, should u stop eating food? the longer u allow HIV to remain untreated, the more it shortens ur life via all kinds of damage to ur body, some reparable, some not--while keeping u infectious. fear Big Bro/Big Pharma? yes! fear TAsP? no!
