According to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Adults and Adolescents with HIV, when using ART to prevent viral transmission (also referred to as "treatment as prevention"), patients should be advised that maintaining HIV RNA levels < 200 copies/mL prevents transmission of the virus to other sexual partners. Levels higher than this threshold can result in sexual transmission of the virus.
