I think the "low-level" is based on people taking antiretroviral medications which sort of halts the progression of HIV to AIDS. I don't know for sure, but I think that's what it means. So I can only assume that if somebody is taking ARVs then the chances of transmission are relatively low.

But...I think that's a poor reason and a poor decision. It's pretty reckless and irresponsible to not disclose something as serious as that. Even if the chance of transmission is low, there's still a risk and HIV/AIDS is too serious of a disease to not let people know.
