Disagree, we are never un-infectious blood transfusions, sharing needles & unsafe sex. Undetectable means that you still have the virus and can still pass it on, sorry but after living with it for 30 + years I learned lots about this.
Clinical trials show that Treatment As Prevention (TAsP) is safer than condom use. However it will not offer any protection from any other sexually transmitted or blood bourn viruses. As you point out nothing is 100% safe and one has to consider what happened if you are not fully adherent to your medication.
My main reason for posting was that some people seemed to be under the impression that as soon as one became undetectable that was it, and are not aware of the difference in time for blood and other bodily fluids reaching undetectable levels.
As you point out even at undetectable we still carry the virus and it is not a cure, if we stop medication the virus will rebound and very soon reach the same level as when we started treatment and then continue to clime.
I welcome discussion, disagreement and clarification.
