I’m HIV positive and my partner is negative. We have been engaging in unprotected sex for some months. I was diagnosed with retrograde ejaculation previously and have appointment with urologist next month.
Is she at risk of infection? She was told to retest after 3 months.
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
How low is your viral load? If it is below 200/undetectable there is no chance of this. This is because you would be unable to pass on HIV to your boyfriend. This is explained by U=U.
If you have a greater viral load than this, retrograde ejaculation means you are having a dry orgasm. This can reduce risk of transmission.

Hi Malesela, this is a very good viral load. It means that your medication is working. You cannot pass on HIV to your partner via sex.
Good day,
My viral load is at 74…
