| Abstract | The success of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for treating HIV infection is now being turned towards HIV prevention. The Swiss Federal Commission for HIV/AIDS has declared that HIV-positive persons who are treated with ART, have an undetectable viral load, and are free of co-occurring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) should be considered noninfectious for sexual transmission of HIV. This study examined the implications of these assumptions in a sample of HIV-positive individuals who drink alcohol. |
