It's simple don't share syringes, use condoms, consider PrEP as an additional layer and, test yearly out of standard routine..

I see :) but how come undetectable has zero risk for sex but not For blood transfusion and drug equipment? Just for the sake of curiosity really :)
Jim Allen:
Because unlike during sex, when sharing syringes you are injecting a viable quantity of HIV directly into the bloodstream. This bypasses a number of barriers including in part the innate immune system providing HIV a direct route.

Anyhow, from an HIV prevention point of view and back on topic, it's simple don't share syringes, use condoms, consider PrEP as an additional layer and, test yearly out of standard routine..
