PrEP Online - Convenient and Affordable PrEP

Using condoms consistently for anal sex is the best solution. From what I know, you need to monitor your blood and kidney functions while on PrEP. If you bareback while on it, you can catch other STDs. I have been sexually active for the past two decades, and have never contracted STDs because I stick to the condom use. Nowadays, HIV infection is no longer a death sentence. But still why do we want to deal with a chronical disease which can be prevented?

Well said and welcome to the board!

Even for oral sex? You don't kiss? AFAIK both gonorrhea and syphilis can be contracted via the mouth. While it is rare, if there is a syphilis sore in the mouth you can get syphilis from deep kissing (google it if you don't believe me). Herpes can also be transmitted other than by anal sex

Exactly right and I know I'm at risk for oral without a condom - but...........

Don't forget toilet seats - the old excuses are still the best

Especially for those of us who still have sex in public toilets - although I do draw the line at licking the seats

How do you wear a toilet seat during sex? I'd find any old excuse not to wear one.

It's called Depend.

Great to see the engagement in this discussion!

What you said is 100% true - using condoms is still the safest method for preventing STDs and HIV.

Our view is that PrEP is great for the following:

1. People with a strong preference for having unprotected sex
2. People with a strong fear of HIV and want a peace of mind (I've met people in committed relationships who are on PrEP in case their partners cheat; or people who use condoms even while on PrEP just )
3. People in a sero-discordant relationship (i.e. HIV+ and HIV-)
4. People who are at high-risk of exposure to HIV in other ways (e.g. drug use)

PrEP is obviously not perfect, but we think individuals should at least have it as an option if necessary
