Generally speaking, there is probably such a low risk, that this should not worry you, especially once your partner gets to an undetectable viral load. However, they need to be really good with adherence so that viral load stays undetectable.<\/p>\n
The only risk in the future would be if their treatment fails for any reason. Adherence is the main cause of failure once viral load is undetectable.<\/p>\n
Even then the risk is likely to be low because:
\ni) although reinfection can occur, it is generally low risk, and a lower risk than for your original infection
\nii) Any treatment failure is usually picked up early at routine 3-4 monthly blood tests,
\niii) Treatment failure usually is detected while viral load is still very low, when risk of infection is also very low.<\/p>\n
If you are worried, you might want to use condoms for the first few months until the virus is undetectable, but then, as your partner will not have resistance, there will not be a risk of them passing this to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
