Update from CROI (Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the PARTNER study of over 1000 serodiscordant couples ? including both heterosexual and same sex male couples ? no transmission of HIV [2] was reported from people living with HIV who were virally suppressed to their HIV-negative partners. This was true even when condomless anal and/or vaginal sex was reported. While this is excellent news, and provides strong support for HIV treatment as prevention, it does not provide conclusive evidence that no HIV transmission is possible in serodiscordant couples when the HIV-positive member is virally suppressed on antiretroviral therapy. For more information, see this AIDSmap article [3].
