I doubt it prevents transmission. But since [HIV doesn't cause AIDS anyway](https://www.amazon.com/Serious-Adverse-Events-Uncensored-History/dp/1645022072), when people get this treatment and then don't get sick, it's proof that it "works" and they therefore need to take it for life, making the drug manufacturers billions.
I commented similarly but then asked AI, which said:
> HIV treatment, specifically antiretroviral therapy (ART), can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting HIV through blood, particularly when the viral load is suppressed to undetectable levels. When a person with HIV takes ART as prescribed, the viral load—the amount of HIV in the blood—can be reduced to levels that are undetectable with standard laboratory tests, typically defined as fewer than 200 copies of HIV per milliliter of blood. At this stage, the risk of transmitting HIV through blood is effectively zero.
Still sounds experimental and also dangerous like, say they're out in the battlefield and lose their meds and become "viral" again, you're just putting people at risk who would have to tend to you if you get wounded...
