TRUVADA: Why are we ALL not taking this???!!!!

[Westheangelino]

how about abstaining from risky behaviors? and being smart with your sexual health?

So, taking a pill that when taken correctly reduces your risk of contracting HIV by 99% isn't a smart thing to do regarding one's sexual health?

My point is, over and over u have said condoms dont prevent safety in sex. And I am proven fact it has and does. Why would I want to take a pill for rest of my life so I can bareback god knows who? I am happy being negative and I am happy with my sex life with condoms. It has worked for me in my sex life. So my point is, u keep ranting condoms dont work, and I said it does. Because if didnt, id be positive now. Condoms saved my life, not some pill.

That's fantastic, and I'm really glad that you found something that worked for you. The reality is though, that you're an outlier on the statistical scale. If someone and their partner are able to adhere to condom usage 100% of the time, and are ok with the risk of one breaking, then go for it! But this is another option in the war on HIV, which clearly needs all the weapons it can get based on statistics in the real world.

Wes... why don't you just leave the topc here. You've been banging on about it for weeks. Peple are either persuaded or not.

Wes --- getting tiresome buddy. Why not just rest your case

Merged two threads

[Westheangelino]

^ Because people are going to die unless they know their options. This might be acceptable to you, but it is unimaginable to me.

Plus, new news comes out every day about this wonder drug. So, I won't stop shouting this from the rooftops.

I also love how we can have endless versions of the following: Who is this Girl? Am I Gay????!!!! First Time Bottom. Remember GG's? Etc.... but two threads discussing a lifesaving miracle drug need to be merged into one?

[Prospero]

Yes - because they cover exactly the same topic and they virtually all posted by you, Wes....

Plus, new news comes out every day about this wonder drug. So, I won't stop shouting this from the rooftops.

So, out of interest, how long have you been taking it?

[Westheangelino]

^ Not on it yet. Trying to find the right insurance plan or the right clinic to get it for free. Admittedly I haven't been trying very hard since I found out about truvada as my sex life hasn't been very anally centered lately, but 'tis the season now.
