You are providing a great service. I recently was exposed to HIV from my partner. He has been on Sustiva and Combivir since April, 2000. Currently, his viral load is 250 and CD4 Count is 273. Thanks for your response.

The same biology holds true when resistant virus is transmitted to another person.
