Shelton notes that there is no clear evidence that anti-HIV treatment makes people less infectious or less likely to engage in risky behavior. In fact, he suggests, such effects may be outweighed by resumed sexual activity by infected people who feel better. Moreover, risky behavior may increase if people no longer see HIV as a death threat.
Squires says the myth in the U.S. is that HIV can be cured.
"While we have very effective therapy, we don't have a cure," she says. "I don't see that in the offing for the next several years at least. The best thing is not to get HIV in the first place."
