Prep is an anti viral

Protects against HIV but there are other nasties it does nothing to stop

Hepatitis probably isn't fun..

Ask the nurse at your next GUM clinic appt. They'll let you know...

Only available from Sexual Health...not your regular GP

I take Prep daily so can’t catch HIV, I have been vaccinated for hep B & hep C

So if someone is taking Prep unlikely they will have HIV

But they can have other STIs unfortunately

So if you meet other people and play without condoms, Prep will protect you for catching HIV, but doesn’t protect from other diseases

But correct me if I’m wrong to be given Prep, you need to be tested for everything at the clinic every 3 months?

I only know one person who is on it and that is what they told me anyway?

That's correct and usually routine, and in addition to frequent blood tests as Prep can affect the kidney function.

Although regular testing is good practice anyway as not all STIs have symptoms.

So meeting someone on prep is safer than meeting someone who isn’t because you know they are regularly tested for all stis and almost no chance of getting hiv.

Condoms always wise though in my opinion

I wouldn't assume anyone is safe, no matter what they say.

Also, Prep only aims to protect the anal receiver from contracting Hiv - so, like others have said there's many other types of infection out there, some of which show no symptoms. Using a condom for anal is safer, but other contact methods (kissing, oral, rimming) are just as likely to pass something on.

It's entirely on you to protect yourself - what others choose to do is their funeral.

Makes sense. Thanks 👍🏼

When you’re at the clinic ask about DoxyPEP too. That helps protect you against chlamydia and Syphilis there’s also a gonorrhoea vaccine as well
