A case that occurred in July once again caused a stir on social media. Kendra Wofford, 30 at the time of her arrest, was detained in Arkansas, United States, accused of allegedly exposing another person to HIV despite knowing that she had tested positive.
The accusation implies that she may have had sexual relations without informing the other person of her condition beforehand, conduct considered a serious felony under state law. Wofford was also detained over several outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court.
The case went viral again accompanied by even more serious claims about alleged pregnancies and multiple infections, but those details have not been publicly confirmed. What this story does remind us is that, with treatment and an undetectable viral load, a person with HIV does not transmit the virus through sexual contact.
