Abstract
Universal HIV testing and immediate antiretroviral
therapy for infected individuals has been proposed
as a way of reducing the transmission of HIV and thereby
bringing the HIV epidemic under control. It is unclear
whether transmission during early HIV infection—before
individuals are likely to have been diagnosed with HIV and
started on antiretroviral therapy—will compromise the
effectiveness of treatment as prevention
