The impact of Undetectable=Untransmittable and viral suppression on condomless sex among mixed HIV-status couples in Canada
Dyad-level U = U agreement, viral suppression, and views of both partners were key factors in mixed HIV-status couples' decisions to have condomless sex. Future representative studies among sexual identity and racialized minority sub-populations are needed to better understand how mixed HIV-status relationships receive and apply U = U messaging, with a focus on partner age and the duration of HIV within relationships.
