Wtf? HIV is more prevalent in heteros-xual people now.

Suck it the **** up. Nobody is judging you because you're gay, they're preventing the spread of HIV and potentially saving you from dying. :emma:

i feel insulted tbh

why not just target it to all s-xually active humans?

 

This report was made as a response to the conclusion that HIV prevention campaigns across the globe still didn't help to diminish HIV infections of gay men, since the number of infections rises everywhere each year. I'm sure that the organisation has a lot more to say about s-xual health on all levels, but you can't deny that gay men have a huge chance of getting infected with HIV compared to straight people.

I had to research HIV and educate myself because the school I attended didn't provide a good education about s-x :smh: we literally learned about how a child is conceived and how to put a condom on a banana, it's 2014 and children need to be educated about s-x at a younger age so they can understand their s-xuality and protect themselves from STDs.

Males who have s-x with other males have a higher chance to contract HIV, it's a fact.

here in Canada, HIV represents 0,2% of the population and in this 0,2%, 71% are over 40 years old. The risk for people 18-30 is very very very low. You almost need to sleep with a 40+ old man to get it and he needs to be part of the 0,2%. It's not worrying at all

basically lol. I've studied all the research and publications about it and it's not bad like people are saying

 

HIV is a virus and this isn't an anti-viral medicine so HIV won't mutate like bacteria can from this medicine because it's changing the cells and their protein binders

 

I get some of the arguments being made in this thread but I strongly advise people read up before they say something :sweat:

Genuinely frightening that HIV rates among gay men is still rising. Considering how expensive PrEp is, which means it won't be available to loads of people, contraceptives still seem the best option

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn

Sorry but this argument has no sense, especially for a health organization, you can still contract the infection in a monogamous relationship if your partner start to cheats on you with other people and you don't know it.

And it happened A LOT.

The only way to be sure (in s-xual behaviours) is always using the preservative to protect yourself. 

There aren't any other options for now.

If your partner starts to cheat, then it's no longer a monogamous relationship. I get your point, but obviously they are saying that if you are only having s-x with one person who is also negative, then clearly you're at less risk to contract the virus.

 

Plus, protecting yourself doesn't mean you can be absolutely sure you will not contract the virus as there is always still a small chance of contracting it (condoms can break, etc). It's the best option, for sure, but it's not foolproof either unfortunately.

 

Also, am I right in understanding that you think if a cure for cancer is found it would be covered up?

Thanks for your contribution and enlightenment, very clever and witty.

I was not trying to be witty. I was making the point that obviously if your partner is cheating on you it's not a monogamous relationship. Thanks for your pointless reply and non contribution to continuing the discussion. :toofloppy:

Its offensive...

 

But more importantly, studies are not up to date enough to know what other side effects taking this d--g DAILY will do to your body... as far as I've read.

 

Someone said it here, --- its like telling all people who are obese or might be obese to take hypertension medicine.

 

Why don't we just tell everyone who has casual s-x to do it? That seems more appropriate, but even then I disagree with the methodology of the d--g itself :P

Yes, this is a big issue. Especially as the listed side effects of using the d--g do not look pleasant either...

Right?

 

Taking it every day is one thing, but wait till years stack on.. There might be side effects that they could not have predicted :giveup:
