Experts Claim HIV Patients Made Non-Infectious

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the shot-in-the-arm dept.

Misanthrope writes to tell us that Swiss scientists are claiming that with proper treatment HIV patients can be made non-infectious. "The statement's headline statement says that 'after review of the medical literature and extensive discussion,' the Swiss Federal Commission for HIV / AIDS resolves that, 'An HIV-infected person on antiretroviral therapy with completely suppressed viraemia ("effective ART") is not sexually infectious, i.e. cannot transmit HIV through sexual contact.'"

    Not as much as involuntary castration of males with HIV and cutting off the hands of those who inject.

    I wouldn't seriously consider that though. I'm just saying.
