"I’ve been told today that I can’t go on doxy-prep because I’ve not had any sti,s so I’m not a higher risk even though I’ve told them that I give oral unprotected and let the guys cum in my mouth! They have put me on prep but can’t get the other, how stupid are they, so I’ve got to catch a sti to be given doxy so I can’t get a sti? Anyone else heard of this? " Really interesting post. I'd never heard of Doxy-prep. I was told I don't need Prep when I questioned it because I only give oral? I do also wonder though about any long term potential negative effects on the body of taking these medications? I know they stop diseases and obviously is a positive. | |||

"What’s doxy?" It’s a tablet you take after having unprotected oral/anal sex and it’s supposed to protect you from gonorrhoea& chlamydia. | |||

"What’s doxy? It’s a tablet you take after having unprotected oral/anal sex and it’s supposed to protect you from gonorrhoea& chlamydia. " An antibiotic. Doxycycline. Doxy -PEP is most effective when taken after condomless sex by individuals at high risk for these bacterial STIs, such as gay and bisexual men and transgender women who have a history of bacterial STIs. | |||

" I understand why you're annoyed but it's not stupid. It's a supply and priority patient approach. You are low risk buddy. You've never had an sti. It makes more sense to give it to someone who engages in riskier sex, more frequently and has a history of sti's. If he/she is on doxy pep then they are less likely to give someone like you the sti. Also, doctors really don't like giving out meds without knowing it's necessary - evidence based practice. It's part of their code of ethics. You are currently , low priority. Regular prep worked the same way when it first came out. It made far more sense to give it to the people who were at the most risk of contracting/spreading hiv. Then it became widely available to guys like me that don't engage in unprotected anal sex that often (for example). | |||

If I declared I would stab myself in the leg unless the NHS gave me £2000, it would be cheaper to give me the money than operate on the wound I would inflict on myself through selfish behaviour. | |||

" Are you looking to block all former smokers from accessing cancer treatments and alcoholics from liver and organ treatments at the same time? Because you’d obviously need to be consistent with your lofty principles. Or is your moral high horse very selective..? | |||

I am sure we can also agree that we do have a health care system which is badly short of resources. This maybe as a society we need to start calling out irresponsible and selfish abuse of what resources are available? | |||

That's down to personal judgement- there are many reasons why people take risky or "irresponsible" actions | |||

We need to use our own judgement and stand by it. Trying to create an absolute boundary is impossible and is no reason not to stand by your own relative boundary. | |||

Go get tested and get on prep, it won't cost you a penny. | |||
