If your viral load has been undetectable for 2 years then the likelihood of you transmitting the virus is extremely small anyway. Your friend may want to read the <a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/guides\/pregnancy\/swiss-statement\">Swiss Statement <\/a>to find out more about this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi<\/p>\n<p>I am positive. I have been on medication for 2 years and always maintained undetectable viral load.<\/p>\n<p>I recently shared a bed with a friend and we were both very drunk. There was a drunken fumble (which was a surprise as we are just friends. Also I am a gay man and my friend is a woman). Due to being so drunk neither of us remember how it started. Once we realised what was happening we stopped.<\/p>\n<p>Neither of us believe there was any penetration. Just me nudging (with a bad aim as I recall so probably not too close to vagina or anus). There was definitely no ejaculation.<\/p>\n<p>I want to put my friends mind at ease that the risk of infection from what happened is very low or practically non existent so thought if I ask this question I can show her the response.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-hiv-transmission"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3774"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24879,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3774\/revisions\/24879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
