PHAC Continues to Emphasize Safer Sex for Preventing HIV Transmission

The Public Health Agency of Canada continues to emphasize that sexually active people should practise safer sex, which includes using condoms consistently and correctly with their sex partners.

An article recently published by Switzerland’s Federal Commission for HIV/AIDS states that HIV-positive individuals on effective antiretroviral therapy may not be at risk for transmitting HIV to their sexual partners under certain circumstances, specifically no detectable viral load and the absence of other sexually transmitted infections. In the same article, the Commission acknowledges that there are no scientific data indicating that the risk of transmission in these circumstances is zero. The Public Health Agency of Canada continues to emphasize that sexually active people should practise safer sex, which includes using condoms consistently and correctly with their sex partners.
