Ive met someone with HIV. I do not have the virus. She wants to have sex saying she is on medication and this medication aids in not spreading the virus. If we are safe, with condoms. Dental dams, etc. what are the risks?

If she is on her meds, and has maintained an undetectable viral load for 6 months, she can not pass it on to you
I understand this is a sensitive situation and you want to be fully informed about the potential risks. As an STD assistant, I can provide some general information, but please keep in mind that I cannot give specific medical advice.
HIV is a serious virus that attacks the body's immune system. However, with proper treatment and an undetectable viral load, the risk of transmitting HIV through sex can be significantly reduced. When someone is on effective HIV medication and maintains an undetectable viral load, the risk of transmitting HIV to an HIV-negative partner through sex is extremely low.
That said, using protection like condoms and dental dams provides an additional layer of protection against HIV and other STDs. It's always advisable to have open and honest conversations with your partner about testing history, viral loads, and consistent medication adherence.
Ultimately, the decision to engage in sexual activity is a personal choice that should be made after carefully considering all potential risks and having thorough discussions with your partner and healthcare provider. If you have any other specific concerns, I'd encourage you to speak to a doctor or sexual health professional who can provide personalized guidance based on your situation.
