Scientists made a huge leap towards eliminating HIV after an 8-year study of a new drug found 'effectively zero' risk of transmitting the virus
Ending the spread of HIV looks within reach as scientists reported that an anti-viral treatment reduces the risk of sexually-contracted HIV to"effectively zero."
"Our findings provide conclusive evidence that the risk of HIV transmission through anal sex when HIV viral load is suppressed is effectively zero." In each case one partner had HIV and was taking anti-retroviral pills, and one was free of the virus. None of the partners without HIV contracted it, despite 76,088 reports of unprotected intercourse.
