Condoms do not only protect from HIV, but from many other STDs and from pregnancy (not an issue for most of our members).
Overall, I think PREP is harmful as it gives a false sense of security and leads to unsafe sex.

prep if taken as directed is as safe as condoms...wearing a condom will not help with veneral diseases unless you wear one before u even get naked as oral sex can transmit them too and that would be so sad...a bj with a condom...might as well not do it. Ive been fucking bareback for the last 6 years and have had hundreds of encounters ( I fuck every day, sex is my hobby, its an obsession) , get tested every 4 months and apart from occasionally picking up the usual suspects like chlamydia ive been fine....i am a top and not circumsised which aparently makes me slightly higher risk but not as risky as being a bottom. I now mostly fuck bareback...love it. During my most recent trip I spent 2 weeks in Brazil, fucked over 60 different guys and had countless BJs....saunas/clruise clubs are busy....toilets at shopping malls like Frei Caneca Shopping in Sao Paulo are very cruisy.....came back clean,
yes I do have a strong sex drive, but anjything more than 3 days I couldnt do it without cialis and i dont ejaculate every time, especially in a sauna orgy scenario...wiuth MBs I always make a point of coming..

100% this. I've never been done bareback and it's a fantasy I'll hopefully fulfill one day, but PREP won't be relied upon. It's all about knowing your partner - well! Gawd knows how many other sorts of infections PREP has caused by making people think unsafe sex is safe..

if u r into casual radom sex then u cannot know your partner.....I enjoy hooking up on grindr...road trips are the best...pop in ...fuck & go...dont even wanna know their names...almost like when away from home all rules dissapear...anywhere will do...side of the road...resaurant toilets...basicaslly when u have sex with as guy u r having sex with everyone (rather kinky whem im riding a mb imagining how mnuch cock he's had) he has had sex with...sort of...so u need to rely on science/modern medicine...I've had condoms break in my teen years when I was in far too much of a hurry & skimped on lube...prep of taken as advbised is as good as condoms...i could never go back to condoms...occasionally use them when the bottom insists but thats it...i get tested regulartly..and rush to the doctor if i suspect anything is amiss....so far...fingers crossed I'm all good
Sounds like a fairly risky strategy.
I agree with David. Prep provides (an arguably) "false" sense of security, that, while generally effective against HIV, provides zero protection against other STI's. Syphilis is on the rise, and given the permanent complications (inc brain damage, liver damage and visual impairment) not to mention the body rash and warts/sores in the mouth and genitals, it's something I'd prefer to avoid if I can.
There's also a strain of Gonorrhea going around that's resistant to antibiotics.
Like most guys I luuurve the idea of bareback sex with other guys but as long as I'm not too fucked up on 'substances' my left brain generally always kicks in and I'll use condoms when it comes to anal.
So if I'm planning on some rooting, I'll make sure I've got a supply of condoms beforehand.

I'd be lying if I said I never missed the "variety" of partners I enjoyed during my wild butterfly years - but being in a monogamous relationship has some pretty nice benefits as well. Jai and I haven't touched a condom in nearly nine years..."All Natural" that's our motto.
