Estimating per-act HIV transmission risk: a systematic review (2014, background): “Factors that increase transmission risk are high viral load [69], genital ulcer disease [70], and acute and late-stage disease [70,71], whereas factors that decrease risk are use of antiretrovirals for treatment [72,73], pre-exposure prophylaxis [16,17,74], male condom use [18], and male”
Simulated Epidemics in an Empirical Spatiotemporal Network of 50,185 Sexual Contacts (2010, background): “Hollingsworth, Anderson, and Fraser [27] devised a model for HIV-1 infection with a susceptible stage followed by four distinct infective stages of different infectivity— one acute infection of high infectivity (over a time-scale of months) followed by a chronic stage (lasting for years), and anothe”

Modeling infectious disease dynamics in the complex landscape of global health (2015, positive): “Models have shown that transmission of HIV depends on the epidemic phase and the sexual behavior of the population, and a large proportion of transmissions may occur late in infection (96).”
