Would not mind your bare cock in me.Always fuck bare - not worth doing it if I have to cover it. On PrEp; keep your judgements to yourself
Yes/Yes/Yes
But only in monogamous relationships.
I respect the answer but how do you know they are monogamous?
I don't. But I have done as much as I am willing to do to mitigate risk. I see it as no different as rock climbing, bike riding, parachuting or driving a car. You weigh up the risk you are willing to take and accept the consequences of your choices.
There are no guarantees. As far as I know, PrEP is not 100%. It's less effective than condoms. I have read it's somewhere around 92% effective. But as in all things science, it comes back to the quality of the data so who knows.
Hey man. I know it was a personal decision which is why I answered you separately. Brodie PrEP is 99.99% effective. This is my field of Doctoral research. It is much much much more effective than condoms. My doctor Colin Kovacs, one of the leading HIV research doctors heading up Canada's most prestigious research lab is one of the PrEP research hubs. There are three cases of failure. Three. Two involved infection with coinfection before treatment was past the number of days needed to suppress (there is a point when you might not test Poz after infection but still have it). The third case is immunosupression from a heroic drug binge non compliance and secondary infection because the primary had not incubated yet. These are extremely specific the treatment was not designed to be effective in these cases nor should we even consider them. They are statistically insignificant. Condoms in anal Intercourse fail 3 to 9 percent. One study went as high as 14. That is hundreds of thousands of failures a year. That's FAR worse. It's also really disingenuous to question the methodology and research behind the really extensive and highly regarded PrEP study when you've not read it. Normally I'd not care but these are colleages.
This wasn't a criticism of you. You clearly thought it out and that's awesome. All any of us can ask for. I brought it up because when I did intake at Toronto PWA fully 33% of my new infection clients were in 'monogamous' relationships. It's as much for others than for you although I care about your health too. I will relentlessly correct on HIV. It's still with us because we still don't get it right. I don't want anyone here to get the news I got 27 years ago.
