"Because the stories cone from innocent teens and women who did not plan to have HIV it's there partners/bf that cheated and gave it to them, even one women who was a virgin trusted her new BF as it was his first time, turns out the lieing sht face was fck everything and she contracted HIV from him. So it is sad some people never asked for it, yes if you play with fire you will get burnt I understand, not arqueing HIV can not be controlled in 2026. When your reading that the ages of teen in there 16-21 now having HIV I personally think is very sad. There not being taught at school about sex, parents are not talking to there children of the importance of sexual health and testing. My kids have been spoken to about the safety and importance of testing and protection. " Granted, their sex experience is sad. But the fact they have hiv from it isnt sad. Other people have similar sex experiences and dont get hiv, and that is just as sad bexause of the fucked up sex experience. Having hiv really isnt a big deal these days. | |||

"Doesn't stop you from getting gonorrhea syphilis clymidia nsu." The plan is for the UK to become HIV free by getting all bi and gay men tested and on prep or treated if hiv positive It gets you regularly tested and given good advice offered vaccinations to prevent gonorrhea and hep and medication to prevent bacterial infections Sounds good to me. | |||

The number of people contracting HIV is significantly decreasing. Are you perhaps referring to African countries? | |||

"Doesn't stop you from getting gonorrhea syphilis clymidia nsu." Additionally, when experiencing a headache, PrEP would not be effective either. PrEP is not intended to prevent other STIs, headaches, high blood pressure, stomach aches, and similar issues; each medication serves a specific purpose, and PrEP is designed as a protective measure against HIV. | |||

" I am reiterating the conclusion of my statement to ensure it is clear this time . ‘Each medication serves a specific purpose, and PrEP is designed as a protective measure against HIV’. If you are experiencing a headache, you may take it as well, but please note that it does not cure your headache. I hope this clarifies the matter for you now. | |||

" HIV is not solely a gay or bi guy's disease- this is like the 1980s. The plan is "with a focus on increasing the proportion of heterosexuals and Black and ethnic minority populations offered PrEP by sexual health services" | |||

"Doesn't stop you from getting gonorrhea syphilis clymidia nsu." True, while DoxyPep reduces syphillis and Chlamydia by around 70% it will only protect against gonorrhoea in about a third of cases. The MenB jab also protects against gonorrhoea in about a third of cases. The key is regular testing. When you have all the jabs and are given doxypep the health professional explains there's limited protection and that you need to have regular checks. Part of it is to make sure the PreP isn't causing you any kidney problems etc, but also to ensure you haven't caught an STI in the past few months. If you have, you get treated . I decided to go on Prep, have the jabs and get regular testing when I spoke to someone who had asymptomatic Chlamydia. He had no idea he'd got it until a previous partner told him they found they had it. He got checked and was surprised that he did have it as he'd not had any symptoms. I looked into it more and realised how many STIs are passed orally and how many men are asymptomatic and realised I was more at risk than I thought. I always suck the guys cock, but even though I'd been insisting on condoms when they fucked me, there was a good chance that at some point I'd catch something. I fully understand why some men stay using condoms and have no problem if a guy wants to use one while fucking me. | |||

"Been on daily prep for about 10 years. No, it does not "make" you promiscuous or carefree, a drug isn’t going to do that to you. It makes you responsible, prepared, and much more informed/aware than those who cant even be bothered to get tested regularly. If your sex is infrequent, you might as well do event-based dosing. Lots of people do what is know as T&S, take the tablet on days staring with those letters. I tried that for a while but prefer daily simply as it is less to think about. Remember it is only protection for you, nobody else, and it does not protect you from other STIs. " This is the most accurate response to the post question... refreshing to see such and informed and sensible reply. | |||

It’s the ones fabstraight and playing on the side that tend to take the risks as they don’t often do prep etc as feel they can’t get away sneak to clinic and test reg etc, many are not even tested at all and are oblivious. | |||

"Been on prep for a couple years, doxy pep for at least a year and all jabs up to date, Been loads events, bi weekly sauna visits and god knows how many meets in that time and tested negative for all in all this time.. So yes 100% worth it and takes any worry away and does make you more likely to play BB in some situations " | |||
