This means that people who take ART daily as prescribed and achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of sexually transmitting the virus to an HIV-negative partner." [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_4"][et_pb_sidebar admin_label="Sidebar" orientation="left" area="et_pb_widget_area_1" background_layout="light" remove_border="off" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
