  2. HIV/AIDS - Wikipedia

    The risk of transmission from anal intercourse is especially high, estimated as 1.4–1.7% per act in both heterosexual and homosexual contacts. [60] [61] While the risk of transmission from oral sex is relatively low, it is still present. [62]

    When people are exposed to HIV-positive infectious bodily fluids either through skin puncture, contact with mucous membranes or contact with damaged skin, they are at risk for acquiring HIV. Pooled estimates give a risk of transmission with puncture exposures of 0.3% [115] and mucous membrane exposures 0.63%. [116]

  4. Undetectable = Untransmittable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undetectable_=_Untransmittable

    The campaign seeks to spread the scientific evidence that undetectable means untransmittable. Since the beginning of the epidemic, perceptions and management of HIV infection have gone through many stages; from assuming the infectiousness, then discovering the routes of transmission (blood, sexual fluids, and breastfeeding), to prevention methods (education, condoms, PrEP, and PEP) and various ...

  5. HIV - Wikipedia

    HIV-1 is more virulent and more infective than HIV-2, [20] and is the cause of the majority of HIV infections globally. The lower infectivity of HIV-2, compared to HIV-1, implies that fewer of those exposed to HIV-2 will be infected per exposure. Due to its relatively poor capacity for transmission, HIV-2 is largely confined to West Africa. [21]

  6. Treatment as prevention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treatment_as_prevention

    The testing and treatment of HIV-positive mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding has since led to the reduction of the risk of transmission by up to 95%. [15] A program for offering ARVs for life to any HIV-positive pregnant woman called "Option B+" served as a precursor to the "test and treat" strategy that is now being rolled ...

  7. Serodiscordant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serodiscordant

    This contrasts with seroconcordant relationships, in which both partners are of the same HIV status. Without effective prevention measures, serodiscordant relationships can significantly contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS, with the risk varying based on the type and frequency of sexual activity and the viral load of the HIV-positive partner. [2]

  8. HIV and pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV_and_pregnancy

    The risk of HIV transmission from mother to child is most directly related to the plasma viral load of the mother. Untreated mothers with a high (HIV RNA greater than 100,000 copies/mL) have a transmission risk of over 50%. [25] For women with a lower viral load (HIV RNA less than 1000 copies/mL), the risk of transmission is less than 1%. [26]

  9. Misconceptions about HIV/AIDS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misconceptions_about_HIV/AIDS

    HIV-infected women remain fertile, although in late stages of HIV disease a pregnant woman may have a higher risk of miscarriage. Normally, the risk of transmitting HIV to the unborn child is between 15 and 30%. However, this may be reduced to just 2–3% if patients carefully follow medical guidelines. [35] [36]
