Increasingly we are talking about embracing an identity where we are openly living, without shame, not just as people with HIV but, crucially, as people with an undetectable virus. And yet itâs important to remember that itâs still possible â however unlikely â to transmit HIV even with an undetectable viral load. Though the personâs blood may contain minuscule amounts of the virus, it may still exist in other bodily fluids, like semen or vaginal or rectal fluids.
HIV is typically transmitted through unprotected sex or intravenous drug use, and is often associated with groups such as promiscuous gay men, illicit drug users, and sex workers. For these reasons, and also because of fears of contagion, people living with HIV are frequently subjected to stigma and discrimination.
