"I know there is no real statistics regarding precum, just wondering what experiences or stories u have heard?"

Stories and personal experience are useless. Read the study linked above by Tiger Milner. It's a study of 1700+ sero-discordant couples. The language is a bit obtuse, but lots has been written about it that's clearer, and it's available on the web. The important point is their finding that there was only 1 case of transmission in the study in a couple where the poz member was on ARVs and undetectable. And, that 1 case happened within a time frame (first 3 months) in which the poz person probably hadn't become undetectable yet (it was before the first 6-month checkup). If not for that 1 case, the success rate would be 100%.

Is it really 100%? Nope. Are you going to be the one exception to the rule who catches it from an undetectable top? As a practical matter, Nope. Being undetectable is far better than the protection offered by condoms. That's why there is such an emphasis on getting people linked to care and on ARVs.
