Correction: Systematic Review of HIV Transmission between Heterosexual Serodiscordant Couples where the HIV-Positive Partner Is Fully Suppressed on Antiretroviral Therapy

An HIV transmission rate per person-years can be converted to lifetime risk by multiplying the upper end of our 95% CI (which was 0.0001 in our sensitivity analysis) by 20 to 50 years which is the expected life expectancy of someone diagnosed to be HIV positive who starts on cART [39,40]. In a simil...

Zusammenfassung:An HIV transmission rate per person-years can be converted to lifetime risk by multiplying the upper end of our 95% CI (which was 0.0001 in our sensitivity analysis) by 20 to 50 years which is the expected life expectancy of someone diagnosed to be HIV positive who starts on cART [39,40]. In a similar fashion to how Attia et al reported, the upper limit of the 95% CI for our sensitivity analysis revealed one transmission in 10,000 person-years from data with 2,848 person-years of follow-up, more person-years being reported on the topic to date.
