Transmission through sex to your partner is a possibility, but is rare. You can always use a Condom. You can also consult your Physician to check your Health status and the drug regimen you have been on. Just take your medicines regularly and go for follow up every fortnight. Please get your blood screened for HIV antibodies by ELISA.
