    • Based on what Sheen said, how is it possible for someone that’s HIV-positive to have unprotected sex without passing it on? The answer is highly-active antiretroviral treatment (HAART).
    • Sheen said that his viral load is undetectable. What does that mean? An undetectable viral load means that the copies of HIV in his blood are so few that current tests can’t even find them.
    • If someone’s viral load is not undetectable, can a partner protect him or herself from the virus? There are two powerful ways HIV-negative partners of people with HIV can protect themselves, even if their partner isn’t on treatment: PrEP and PEP.
    • Why would Sheen have needed to tell his partners he had HIV? What would be the consequences if he didn’t? The law says that Sheen and all people with HIV must disclose their health status to partners or risk jail time — that’s regardless of viral load, treatment or even transmission of the virus.
