Get off your high horse, your tone of condescension ain’t cute. i try my hardest not to be condescending but its just so rude to not be informed on a topic, yet still believe its ok to decide whats right and whats wrong lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is anything I said judgmental? I am just 99% sure that any doctor who is prescribing prep to someone, they also tell their patient to practice safe sex as well by wearing a condom but I guess I cannot speak for all doctors.

"everybody should act this way because it is the only good way " ---> judgement " i act this way because i feel like its the right thing" --> no judgement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well... they literally tell you that PrEP doesn’t protect you 100% & is only 92-99% effective & that you should still use a condom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 54 minutes ago, maxmore said: before making scary threads like this, try and read the article diligently ... it says that he was taking prep on demand! (meaning that he was taking a pill everyday, only when needed) people who choose this regimen are usually at a higher risk... its a fact that prep is the safest way to protect oneself + resistance to truvada is extremely rare (which isnt about to change anytime soon). I’m confused, either he was taking a pill everyday (which is the most effective way of using PrEP) or he was only taking it when he knew he was going to have sex. Saying “only when needed” doesn’t mean everyday so I’m just confused lmao. My doctor has said that taking the pill everyday builds PrEP up in your system & therefore is more effective but if you’re taking it randomly “when needed” then that effectiveness drops drastically. Also, taking PrEP isn’t considered safe sex because even if you take it everyday you can still contract HIV. PrEP is just considered another layer of protection & not an answer to unsafe sex. I’m not trying to start an argument either lol I’m just saying what I know of PrEP since I used to be on it & have done extensive research but chose to stop because I actually had side effects & even when I was on it if I were going to have random sex (which I don’t hook up with randoms anyways) I would’ve still used a condom. The only person I don’t use a condom with is my boyfriend of 8 years cause we know where we’ve been & trust each other & don’t have sex with random people we don’t know (in an open relationship lol) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 22,990 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'm not even sure they tell women to still use condoms when they take the pill, and we know the pill is not 100% safe so...

Any doctor no matter the country should know this since it is literally the science behind the pill & if they aren’t telling you this then they don’t know enough about the pill.
