Talk to your doctor about this. They might want to get your partner on prep if they’re negative.

Based on everything I have read, HIV transmission shouldn’t be a worry, but remember that there are other things out there that you don’t want.

Very true. The guy I was seeing is HSV positive, so we always used condoms. But you never know Edgar the future will bring.

If your viral load is undetectable and your CD4 count is above 300, it significantly reduces the risk of transmitting HIV to your partner. Here are some key points from your knowledge base:

- Undetectable Viral Load: If your viral load stays undetectable over a long period, you can't pass HIV to your partner during sex

If your viral load is undetectable and your CD4 count is above 300, it significantly reduces the risk of transmitting HIV to your partner. Here are some key points from your knowledge base:

- Undetectable Viral Load: If your viral load stays undetectable over a long period, you can't pass HIV to your partner during sex.
- Condom Use: Even with an undetectable viral load, using condoms is still advised to protect against other STIs, especially if you have multiple sexual partners.
- Monogamous Relationships: If you are in a monogamous relationship, you and your partner might consider having sex without condoms, but you should discuss this with your healthcare provider.

Always consult with your healthcare provider to make the best decision for your specific situation.
