• HIV-1 transmission, by stage of infection. (2008, background): “[36]); and AIDS, 162,000 copies per mL of blood plasma [37].”
• Revised recommendations for HIV testing of adults, adolescents, and pregnant women in health-care settings. (2006, neutral): “Because viral load is the chief biologic predictor of HIV transmission (85), reduction in viral load through timely initiation of HAART might reduce transmission, even for HIV-infected patients who do not change their risk behavior (86).”
• Estimating sexual transmission of HIV from persons aware and unaware that they are infected with the virus in the USA (2006, background): “Studies of heterosexual transmission found that no HIV-positive persons who had a VL less than 1500 copies/ml [4] or less than 1094 copies/ml [5] infected a sex partner.”
