Reader Remarks on:

In HIV Infection, "Undetectable" Is Still Infectious

Undetectable HIV in Men

Undetectable HIV in Men

Competing interests: None declared

I know a man who is HIV + and undetectable and got a woman pregnant, not on purpose of course. Sadly, she lost the baby. She knew that the guy was in fact HIV + and undetectable. She got tested for HIV and came out negative. There were also other women he had unprotected sex with and none of them has HIV because they all tested negative. They all waited at least three months to get tested, and one of them waited six months. Being that none of these women came out positive, are the chances of him passing the virus to another woman slim?
