People w/HIV on ART & undetectable viral load are not at risk of transmitting HIV to their sexual partners. The risk of sexual transmission is higher in people w/ low-level viremia, but it is still much lower than the risk from people w/ high-level viremia thelancet.com/journals/lance…

TRIM5α is a cellular protein that restricts poxviruses. Poxviruses have 2 mechanisms to antagonize TRIM5α: C6 degrades TRIM5α, & CypA prevents TRIM5α from binding. Targeting TRIM5α or CypA could be a promising strategy for developing new antivirals nature.com/articles/s4158…
