Abstract
In this article, I seek to develop some reflections on aspects of risk and pleasure, considering important advances in relation to HIV. This is the case of current studies that show that the person with an undetectable viral load, under treatment, does not transmit HIV in their sexual relations. Despite these advances, I will highlight some ambivalences present in this field, especially when there is the possibility of sex without a condom. From different narratives (online and offline), in the context of a research on young people living with HIV, but also from my own interactions as a user of dating apps, I intend to focus on some issues/tensions about sex/pleasure and HIV care. In addition, I expect to emphasize the multiple forms of pleasure/care production beyond what is normalized by the health field. Finally, this article brings some reflections around a new category (undetectable) that seems to blur the border between negative/positive people.
