I met, a fell, for a doctor. I told him I was negative (just tested), careful and w/o sex for 9 months. He smiled. He did not want condoms and I, for once, trusted. I ASSUMED he was negative. He admitted, with guilt, a week later that he was HIV but non-detectable 2+ years and on meds and could not transmit the virus so it was ok and should still be ok to continue w/o protection. He showed me this article to support it. I am very confused but reluctant to do anything now w/o protection. Help!

I hope people don't irresponsibly take this news as permission not to tell potential partners of their status, which I consider akin to rape no matter what the Swiss doctor says. I also would hate to put my negative partner at any risk whatsoever -- who knows when a flu or other health challenge can quietly undermine my undetectability? I also hope there are studies done on same-sex couples as well. The omission of homosex from their study is an egregious flaw.

My primary hiv care said the same thing. I think that there may be a chance but if the VL gets to undetectable (less than 50) the chances are very small of transmission if at all
