Barriers in recipient partners cause frequent transient HIV infections and explain transmission risk under viral suppression

2026-03-23

Abstract excerpt

Treatment-as-prevention is the cornerstone of global HIV control, and the 'Undetectable = Untransmittable' (U=U) message rests on the empirical observation that antiretroviral therapy reduces onward transmission to negligible levels. Yet a mechanistic explanation for why viral suppression prevents transmission, and for the broader quantitative features of HIV transmission, has been lacking. Here we develop a mecha...
