And it is also very important NOT TO BAREBACK
But if you want to, please consider truvada as another option
Just bear in mind that all drugs , if used long term , have undesirable and possibly dangerous side effects. One can't be huffing poppers and taking Truvada and expect it not to effect one's health. Just saying.
The most common side effects with Truvada are elevated blood Lactate and liver damage . So you need to see your doctor at least once a year so that he can monitor your blood chemistry / liver enzymes with a blood test. And be honest with him so that he can know your concerns.
As for poppers , at the very least , they make one smell awful for weeks !
Here's a good thumb nail information sheet on Truvada.

^ Never had a problem smelling bad via poppers.
But, yes, excess in all things leads to bad consequences. That being said, let's have some common sense and use all weapons at our disposal against the scourge of AIDS.
ALL of them Sir... including condoms.
Oh and using poppers is also stupid.
^ a LOT people enjoy poppers. I think cockrings are stupid. I think marijuana is stupid. A lot of people enjoy those too. Different strokes, different folks. None of which has anything to do do with Truvada FYI.
Yeah and some folks like playing Russian roulette - with guns or with their sexual health.
But then you are an advocate for all kinds of of dumbness West, so I thought i'd throw that in. Carry on your crusade though....and I truly hope you stay well.
^ I just don't understand that sentiment. I'm advocating people taking a drug that has been shown to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV by more than 95% (and that isn't even using the benchmark of perfect use and compliance). To me the attitude of not shouting this news from the rooftops is so much more deadly and a disservice to humanity.
That's cool Wes... but its your advocacy of bareback that continues to bug me for its foolishness
^ I see your point. But trust me: my personal feelings on the issue have nothing to do with the fact that half of all men who have sex with men will be HIV positive by the time they are 50. Truvada can help make that statistic a non reality!!!
