It means an unwarranted view of an "undetectable" individual as a source of HIV transmission.

That is, an individual that is "undetectable" (formerly HIV+ but underwent treatment so that the viral load is not detectable) is still viewed as a potential source of HIV transmission, despite assurances from the medical community that an undetectable load is unlikely to be a source of transmission.

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Is it wrong for potential partners to want to know if someone carries any sexually transmitted virus (HIV or otherwise)?

Is this basically just saying trust the opinion of the current medical establishment?
