A Case Scenario cutting across different HIV Prevention issues

Background Most new HIV infections are acquired from stable, long-term partners.HIV serodiscordant relationships are among the most vulnerable to acquiring????It is not uncommon getting exposed to body fluids of an HIV infected partner in a serodiscordant (magnetic couples) set ups.This is an interesting case scenario cutting across many issues about the transmissibility of HIV infection in.There may be queries from apprehensive people -seeking advice reg?? HIV's probability of acquisition under some very uncommon conditions which may be helpful for training/teaching purposes Objectives The scenario (A non-HIV Patient getting exposed to semen of a HIV positive man with an undetectable viral load -VL at the hand having an open cut) is an interesting, educative and unique case scenario as it involves almost all issues related to HIV prevention i.e. scanty information --withholding his/her name and gender possibly due to stigma/discrimination issues forwarded by the questioner and issues involving responses to various situations in serodiscordant couples ('magnetic couples ') exposure in an unique non-occupational yet non-sexual mode, counseling& testing issues, initiating nPEP (Non-occupational Post Exposure Prophylaxis) and PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), TasP (Treatment as Prevention) and HTPN 052 Study.The importance of answering this kind of scenarios lies in the fact that it would help many--including the questioner itself. Methods Descriptive study discussing the different aspects of HIV Prevention.Results The questioner's HIV-acquisition risks are extremely low (theoretically) & unwarranted still we will try to put his/her fears to rest by examining the issues involved in this case critically and coming up with scientifically based explanations and accordingly advice him/her taking into the considerations of HIV Testing and Treatment policies and Guidelines of the land available.Conclusions This scenario is a very interesting one, requiring many basic concepts of prevention of HIV/AIDS for answering and may be used for teaching/training even medical professionals.The questioner's HIV-acquisition risks are extremely low (theoretically) & unwarranted and we will try to put his/her fears to rest by examining the issues involved in this case critically and coming up with scientifically based explanations and accordingly advice him/her taking into the considerations of HIV Testing and Treatment Policies and Guidelines of the land available.The importance of answering this kind of scenarios lies in the fact that it would help other health professionals and questioners alike and may be useful in teaching/training settings.
