Swiss scientists say condoms not needed for HIV +ve people April 3, 2008
I was alerted by a friend co worker to this very study done by a team of Swiss scientists. The report, published in the January issue of the Bulletin of Swiss Medicine, states that after review of the medical literature and extensive discussion with experts an HIV-infected person on anti retro viral therapy, cannot transmit HIV through sexual contact. What created all this confusion is due to the the fact that this study was done by the very top pundits on HIV from Switzerland. I mean, the experts on HIV and AIDS telling us something which discourages people to use condoms?
It seems that the findings from the study are valid only with strict conditions attached to it. And they are :
- They must be undergoing antiretroviral therapy
- The virus must have been suppressed for at least six months and viral load levels regularly monitored
- They must be free of any other sexually transmitted disease.
The Commission states that although available medical and biological evidence does not rule out the possibility of HIV transmission they feel that there is nonetheless enough information to support its statement (1).
Understandably, all major health organizations reacted to this vehemently stating that…
And other position statementf from various concerned groups.
So people, its still not safe without a condom. I hope i have done my part informing the public.
