TL;DR: Evaluating the rate of within-couple HIV transmission among serodifferent heterosexual and MSM couples during periods of sex without condoms and when the HIV-positive partner had HIV-1 RNA load less than 200 copies/mL found no phylogenetically linked transmissions.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the risk of HIV transmission in gay couples through condomless sex when HIV viral load is suppressed is effectively zero, which supports the message of the U=U (undetectable equals untransmittable) campaign, and the benefits of early testing and treatment for HIV.

TL;DR: The prevalence of and factors associated with neurocognitive impairment (NCI) using computerized and pen-and-paper neuropsychological tests was determined using data from 448 HIV positive patients attending five European outpatient clinics to determine prevalence of NCI.

TL;DR: The PARTNER study as discussed by the authors is an international, observational multi-centre study, taking place from 2010 to 2014 in which HIV serodifferent partnerships who at enrolment reported recently having had condom-less vaginal or anal sexual intercourse are followed over time, with 46 monthly reporting of transmission risk behaviour through a confidential self completed risk behaviour questionnaire and with46 monthly HIV testing for the HIV negative partner.

TL;DR: This observational study will provide missing information on the absolute risk of HIV transmission for both vaginal and anal sex when the index case is on ART with a VL<50 copies/mL in the absence of condom use.
