Effective anti-HIV treatment has significantly reduced the sexual transmission of HIV amongst steady heterosexual couples, according to the results of a Spanish study.
The investigators found that HIV prevalence amongst the initially HIV-negative partners fell from 10% before potent HIV therapy became available to 2% after the introduction of effective antiretroviral treatment.
In addition, the investigators found that HIV was only transmitted by patients who were not taking anti-HIV therapy. Not a single partner of an HIV-positive patient taking anti-HIV therapy became infected with HIV.
