You're right. HIV isn't just another communicable disease in someone with an undetectable viral load, it's just another untransmissible disease [0].

If you take diligent care to take the proper pill everyday, you can make in transmissible for your partner.

But the risk of you not doing so is _very high_ to your partner. As such, it should be disclosed. If there is trust between people, then its acceptable.

I would argue that the risk of someone not taking their medication is not "very high". The individual with HIV is highly incentivized to take their medication because it ensures their continued survival.
