Rates of HIV-1 transmission per coital act, by stage of HIV-1 infection, in Rakai, Uganda. (2005, background): “Measures that prevent primary HIV infection or reduce early viremia (as may occur with HIV vaccines) are likely to have a greater effect than ART on the spread of HIV.”
Decreases in Community Viral Load Are Accompanied by Reductions in New HIV Infections in San Francisco (2010, background): “If we were able to improve the detection of acute HIV infections and they are as important a part of transmission as hypothesized by some investigators [52,53], we might even see a stronger correlation between CVL and incidence rates.”
Deciphering Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Transmission and Early Envelope Diversification by Single-Genome Amplification and Sequencing (2008, background): “particular routes of transmission increase the transmission efficiency of HIV-1 (28, 29, 48, 49) and may favor the transmission of multiple HIV-1 variants.”
HIV-1 transmission, by stage of infection. (2008, background): “lating from transmission estimates based on transmission as a function of viral load [14-16].”
