Hi I just wanted to find out if my partner is HIV positive and I’m negative taking and I’m taking prep should we continue using condoms, what future do we have
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
No. If you are on PrEP there is no need to use condoms to prevent HIV transmission.
PrEP will not prevent other STDs and a condom would be advised if this is a risk.
If your partner is HIV positive and on treatment with a viral load below 200 there would be no need for you to be on PrEP. Transmission in this case would be impossible and called U=U.
Josh.
