Switzerland: statement on sexual transmission of HIV by people on ART.

[Article in English, French]

Abstract

In February 2006, Swiss experts issued a statement concluding that HIV-positive individuals who are on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), and who do not have any sexually transmitted infections (STIs), cannot transmit HIV through sexual contact. The statement was authored by four of Switzerland's leading AIDS experts and was issued on behalf of the Swiss Federal Commission for HIV/AIDS.
