Viral Load and Heterosexual Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

TL;DR: The viral load is the chief predictor of the risk of heterosexual transmission of HIV-1, and transmission is rare among persons with levels of less than 1500 copies of HIV -1 RNA per milliliter.

Universal voluntary HIV testing with immediate antiretroviral therapy as a strategy for elimination of HIV transmission: a mathematical model

TL;DR: A theoretical strategy of universal voluntary HIV testing and immediate treatment with ART, combined with present prevention approaches, could have a major effect on severe generalised HIV/AIDS epidemics.

Sexual transmission of HIV according to viral load and antiretroviral therapy: systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Studies of heterosexual discordant couples observed no transmission in patients treated with ART and with viral load below 400 copies/ml, but data were compatible with one transmission per 79 person-years, which is needed to better define the risk of HIV transmission from patients on ART.

Comparison of Western blot (immunoblot) and glycoprotein G-specific immunodot enzyme assay for detecting antibodies to herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in human sera.

TL;DR: Both WBA and IEA are accurate and sensitive tests for HSV-2 antibody in patients convalescing from a first episode or having symptomatic or asymptomatic recurrent genital herpes, although both assays may miss persons undergoing early seroconversion to HSv-2.
