Members discussed why a partner might still need PrEP even when someone is undetectable, with the community offering thoughtful, detailed explanations about how HIV status can fluctuate between lab appointments. Several members explained that being undetectable reflects a single point in time, and that missed doses or brief viral blips could create short windows of risk that a partner might not know about. A recurring theme was the importance of honest disclosure, staying educated about local laws, and asking doctors questions without shame, with the community ultimately encouraging open communication and mutual protection.

I have checked the laws in my state but they seem to be out dated to the current medical enhancement like ART. I want to say again that I would disclose my status either way. I am so honest that I could never do onto others what has bone to me.

Sadly, it’s like a pregnancy test, you’re only undetectable at the time of your last test. Hopefully you stay in detectable but flour up sadly happened.

I understand most people are uneducated on how hiv is transmitted or just plain ignorant

@A myHIVteam Member I thought this site was to help people and yes I will ask my doctor questions. I don’t know why you’re so defensive with me it is an honest question. I feel what you said is condescending and made me feel as if you are down talking me. Not cool

People are put on prep to protect themselves from sexual intercourse with anybody who is HIV positive. Even though your HIV is suppressed through medication it still fluctuates and if you ever miss medications, those could be times where you could be putting somebody at risk that’s why.
