When I first heard about this, I was very skeptical. Now I see quite a few people mentioning that they use this method. Even though I'm not sexually active right now, I'm considering. Is it expensive? 100% effective? I'm still gonna use condoms too if I do.
I know people that do! I'd definitely do it along with a condom
These days you can never be too sure. People may mean well, and not even be a "slut" (whatever you consider that to be) but they can STILL have something and be unaware. Ch. I don't have time
Nah. Make I speak freely Tae lol?

!!!! All it takes is one time.
If it's not too pricey, I may actually get in. It's FDA approved so that kinda shut down some doubts I had about its effectiveness.

I hope he chimes in. But just based on all you know, would you use something like this?
im considering it too.

No I dont use it but have considered it. I heard it is much like birth control where you consistently have to take it otherwise it wont hold it's affect. My issue is people taking this drug as an excuse to still be out here fucking raw.
I'm skeptical at the "reduce their risk" portion tho
shit.. a bitch can stay abstinent and do that, save some coins
if you're not giving them a miracle cream or formula so they can MESS freely then no ma'am .... keep it
that's the only thing for me, I feel like it can be misleading for some gorls
I think I'm afraid to get this mess cuz if I go to the doctor they are gonna automatically coin me as gay...
And yeah I am but so what..
I want a discrete way of getting the mess
I will just stick to condoms.

who cares what they think? its not like they disclose ur business and they dont even know you like that
My mind tends to go in complete conspiracy mode when it comes to this type of stuff. I start to think of shit like the Tuskegee experiment they did years ago, except it's geared toward the gays. That's really why I'm still reluctant.
Yea it can be misleading, so thats why I'd be a little worried messing with someone on it. Some of them think it's all they need. But thats why condoms >>

It's a great idea, just use a condom too
With HIV/aids treatment drugs being very powerful, it's not a death sentence as it once was
But with the rise of Hep C, resistant strains of Gonorrhoea out there...
I trust aids more than I trust that pill.

Like here in the u.k we have free health service
But because the drugs are so expensive they're deciding whether to put on the free national health service or make it available on private healthcare
In which case it'll only be accessed by rich old white men hosting drug and bareback sex parties for younger vulnerable boys

:dead: it might be helpful for him to know you have homosexual relations with others....(jayden correct me if im wrong)
And so what if you're gay.....you like men! if your doctor don't rock with it, oh well....he ain't your father. do your job, pass me my prescription and keep it moving

and this is the part where i become lowkey fucking infuriated. our community and its fucking hypermasculine expectations of our men are now even affecting some of our decisions in the privacy of a fucking doctor's office? is this real fucking life?

I imagine Prep drugs would be expensive as fuck over there though :uhh:
ssssssssss
My doctor knows, we have a great time
My first prostate exam was excellent lol
He's rich white trade from church and the gym, wish he didn't have that wife and fucking kids tho
Like privately over here they're charging ?600 for 1 months course of pills and that's without the ?300 consultation, and ?500 worth of blood work :dead:
A packet of condoms cost ?10

I get being 'discreet' with your tea but that's a bit extreme, glock :dead:
j
i was kidding btw glock
you dont have to tell anyone you like bootyholes and weiners.
Doctors kinda just know tho
You have to realize a good doctor sees so many patients, they recognize certain behaviors
Like mine, "So how's your sexual life been, healthy? And concerns?"
The MINUTE I said "um" before I answered I saw his ear twitch
And even then they don't know, know.
But a doctor has to be a trusted friend imo, the more they know the better health advice you get
God bless him for that Xanax tho,
I think he saved a couple niggers lives that day lolz

No shade come to think of it, it would be kind of embarassing if you did a check up and they find out you have a loose booty during a prostate check.

Hhhjj
I have seen some SLACK booties though
i mean u cannot blame Glock at the end of the day. let's be slow to judge him...i mean it's only a side effect of conditioning and shaming which is slathered onto our community through our own people. its just affected him a bit more deeply. but it's good for us to to let him know that it's OK to tell your doctor. don't hide your truth from those who can HELP you.
i'm only angry right now because i luv glock so much and it fucking frustrates me that he feels like he has to take these measures to protect his truth....when its affecting my bvys decisions regarding a doctors office im sorry but i fucking blacked out just a bit :stressed:
My thing is people are basically looking at this as a means to go out and indulge in high-risk sexual behaviors without any repercussions. It takes the "fear" out of contracting H.I.V and that incites people to want to just get loose and wild. My thing is you can do this, with a condom.
Also, the side effects of the drug isn't as researched as people tend to believe. You are essentially putting a shit load of medications(not fully knowing the impact it may have) in your body to prevent something you can easily do with other tools of safe sex.
Lastly, people tend to forget that there are worse things out there besides H.I.V this does not protect you from those.
Plus its another way for pharmaceutical companies to keep PoC medicated and drugged up.

THIS!
One of my friends started taking it and was trying to talk me into it, but I don't know enough about this drug to start taking it every day. Like, I know what it's meant to do, but I have no idea what other side effects are possible. I don't think I'm willing to take that risk when condoms are so readily available.
80% plus side effects and it is expensive? No fucking ma'am. I will take a cheap 99.9% condom tea.

Both you and Bre bring up logical points; I think I'll stick to my condoms too.
