Thank you Steve. I think a lot of people are questioning why sites like this continue to publish stories that exaggerate the relative infectiousness of well medicated HIV+. As far as I know, the number of documented transmissions from "stable undetectables" is 0. Regardless, its certainly lower than from people who "think they're negative". This excessive caution is a source of stigma, making sites like this part of the problem. Once again, shame on Poz.

"while those who were virally suppressed were 94 percent less likely to transmit (0.4 transmission per 100 person-years)" Curious to see the citation for this claim. I have not seen a single documented case of forward transmission from virally Suppressed. If the 94% is the extrapolation of confidence intervals say so. Otherwise you are leading the reader to believe a documented case of transmission has occurred.
