Among nearly 10,000 gay and bisexual men followed for a cumulative 18,000 years, there have been only 16 new cases of the virus.

The decline was driven by lower infections among men who have sex with men, who have embraced the use of PrEP.

The circumstances of this case are so highly unique, the prospect of replicating it are quite uncertain.

Researchers suggest that using antiseptic mouthwash may mitigate this risk.

Researchers broke down the various strategies that the gay men in the Opposites Attract study used to prevent HIV transmission.

Steve Spencer—now on treatment with an undetectable viral load—says evidence of PrEP’s effectiveness is still clear.

Other countries already embrace this form of HIV prevention, also known as “on-demand,” “sex-driven” and “intermittent” PrEP.

Today, with better understanding of the complex task at hand, cure researchers are investigating multiple avenues and taking the long view.

The study of mixed-HIV-status gay couples prompted the CDC to conclude that undetectable people have effectively no risk of passing on HIV.

A survey of Australian men who have sex with men conducted in 2016 found a low proportion trusted HIV treatment as prevention of the virus.

An Australian study found that a recent spike in PrEP use coincided with a swift drop in condom use among both those on and off PrEP.
