Successful global treatment as prevention requires identifying HIV-positive individuals at high risk for transmitting HIV and offering strategies to help prevent transmission. This study found substantial estimated numbers of HIV transmissions among sexually active HIV-positive individuals in care (typically considered at lower transmission risk). This emphasizes the importance of novel treatment-as-prevention programs to support this population.
