A Sydney man has been diagnosed with HIV despite taking a "game-changing" pre-exposure prophylaxis medication known as PrEP.

Steven Spencer, 27, tested positive for HIV in December, despite diligently using PrEP "on demand" before and after sexual encounters in line with the advice of doctors.

He is believed to be the seventh person globally to be diagnosed with HIV while adhering to a PrEP regimen.

"I was in complete shock, as were my doctors," Mr Spencer said, knowing the chances were extremely rare.

QuoteRoughly half a million people worldwide take the medication, which is more than 99 per cent effective in preventing HIV when taken correctly.

There you go. It's not 100%. Too bad so sad.

This is not true at all. A friend of mine recently tested positive and was so devastated he ingested poison. Thankfully he was found in time. He wasn't even promiscuous. He just thought death was a better option than his parents finding out. Turns out his parents took it better than he did.

QuoteDarren Russell, clinical adviser for Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine - which authored Australia's PrEP clinical guidelines - said a growing body of evidence supported taking PrEP on demand (a dosing strategy involving taking PrEP pills in line with a carefully-timed schedule before and after sex).

"Taking PrEP only around the time of sexual events allows for fewer tablets to be taken overall, resulting in less exposure to medication, potentially fewer side-effects, and lower costs," Dr Russell said.

The gorls love to be edgy. Just take the shit correctly. Like, damn.
