I’m not a mathematician, but I’d love to see the output of that equation but I think you’re right.

The probability of contracting CV over infinity, would be infinity, I don’t like those odds.

No, it doesn’t - at the bottom of the article it states

Detection of viral RNA does not necessarily indicate the presence of infectious virus.
