Can you tell me if the risk of transmission is low if my partner penetrates me anally, without a condom. We have had the condom come off more than once, and are concerned about his chances of exposure. Risk of transmission is lower with an undetectable viral load than one that is detectable. But risk of infection is not zero.
Risk appears greater for a receptive partner who is uninfected than one who is penetrating.
