  1. Current street recommendations are to take it 7 days after last event to get off from it. At the beginning of PrEP people were suggesting full 4 weeks, like PEP, but with the new efficacy data of on demand PrEP, where it's taken only for 2 days after, it's clear that 4 weeks is overkill. Thus most folks these days go for 7 days to get off. To get back in, even just 2 doses hours before sex is highly effective, on demand PrEP uses this. But we can measure that maximum rates of truvada in the bum peak after 7 days of daily dosage, so if you want to be more conservative 7 day lead in is the right thing to do.
  2. Either use the gilead coupon that will wipe out the $2000 easily or just buy the generic outright on purchase-prep.com. They have no issues shipping to USA.
  3. Most reasonable dosage these days seems to be the 7-7-7 method. 7 day in for full protection, 1 pill a day, a pill every day while having fun, a pill for 7 days after the fun. On demand dosing also seems to work very well. 2 pills the day of sex, hours before sex... then 1 pill a day for two days after sex has finished.
  4. There's the cervix pap smears for women, and there's the anal pap smear for men who get it up the butt. When we get fucked raw we universally get infected with HPV. It goes away on its own usually, but in some rare cases it stays in your ass and can turn into cancer. Anal pap smears are an easy an effective way to check what's the state of the cells that the swab scrapes off from your butt. If results are abnormal, you are usually refered to do an HRA, a High Resolution Anascopy where they take a look at the inside of your anal area with more care and maybe they do biopsies to do pathology. By all means, do this test. more info: https://www.analcancerfoundation.org/about-hpv/prevent-it/get-screened/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_Pap_smear
  5. Not ridiculous at all. Anal pap smears are the male equivalent to women pap smears. We all get HPV when we get fucked raw and it can develop into cancer in some rare cases. With anal pap smears they can easily asses if there are any precancerous cells in there or not.
  6. You are definitely non infectious 24 hours after your penicillin shot, so any sex after that you will not pass it to others. Your VDRL levels though, will take months to come down in non-reactive territory.
  7. I know message is old but will serve as reference for other folks. I've been at IDM on sunday a few times and getting guys to BB has been hit or miss. About 50% I'd say. There's definitely the few that'll go bare but many others will produce condoms...
  8. Going into Paris for a few days next week, wed-sun, and I'm wondering what are the best places to find mature/bearish men into the same who will fuck bare without problems. I'm not so much interested in group BB, but rather making sure that when I meet up with some guy they won't pull out a condom and are ready to slip it in bare/get fucked bare with loads being delivered/taken. I see 'bunker' being mentioned a lot here but sounds more of a younger crowd. I've tried Full Metal and Secteur X, with moderate success. In the latter they demanded to me twice to use condoms, which I refused. Ended leave the place without cumming. Maybe I should try 'full metal'/secteur X again? Thanks guys
  9. This is the right answer. Treponema Pallidum is extremely susceptible to penicillin, and it's gone in hours after the shot. Antibiotic resistance to it is rare. In a way it's one of the easiests STDs to treat if found early. While the bacteria is gone, all the other chancres and lesions may take a while to clear, but you will be fine.
  10. A test for levels of truvada in blood is not available outside of clinical trials or very specific labs, so this story sounds fishy to me.
  11. I'm just wondering if for someone who has no outbreaks, no symptoms and no other problems with his HSV-1 and HSV-2 if it's advisable to be on daily Valtrex. I guess the argument would be to reduce shedding, but given all medicines have a tax on your body the cost/benefit here of Valtrex for guys who have no HSV issues is unclear.
  12. What are you taking Valtrex daily? Most people I know who are HSV-1 and HSV-2 positive don't really have any symptoms.
  13. Kidney function test don't matter much when you do them. But you really want to make absolutely sure you are HIV- before starting PrEP to avoid getting resistance to Truvada.
  14. A generic version was approved by the FDA. It doesn't mean it's going to be released If its released it will still likely be expensive because there will be only one alternative.
  15. A couple of notes: 1) This does not mean Teva is going to sell this in the USA any time soon... Some Truvada patents are still standing until 2021. FDA has approved many other HIV generics for PEPFAR 2) In the case they do sell them, price may be lower, but not much lower. Let's say $750. Half of Truvada. This may actually be AWFUL news for patients. Why? Because at $700ish, the generic will NOT have copay assistance, insurance companies will force you to use the generic, and patients will have to pay the cost of copays and deductibles 100%. With many plans these days have $1000ish deductibles the price for PrEP may go up significantly for people at checkout. POZ.com has a nice writeup about the nuances of all this: https://www.poz.com/article/fda-approves-generic-truvada
  16. There's lots of bug-chasing dreamers around here who don't view PrEP very positively because diminishes the fun. All these anti-PrEP comments here need to viewed in that context...
  17. Did they go away on their own? Or you had something done at the docs
  18. RPR/VDRL quantitative is considered negative less than 1:8. It should go to RPR/VDRL negative with time 1-2 years....unless you reinfect yourself. Your varying RPRs maybe normal while the settle into neg territory BTW, the number of loads doesn't matter for syphilis. Syphilis is passed on through skin contact with a chancre. The number of partners is probably more of a factor than the loads. And yes, daily doxy seems to be a PrEP of sorts of Syphilis!
  19. I've sort of have the same feeling. Since i've been on PrEP I've probably fucked bare top and/or bottom getting close to a thousand times in a five year period, seems likely. Then I've got 4-5 instances of easily treatable STDs that have been swiftly taken care of due to PrEP protocol. I'm pretty sure I'll slow down sooner than later. This pace of hookups is not sustainable for me. These STD rate is quite a reasonable price to pay for me given all the fun for the time being.
  20. Same here. Hated getting fucked, was very bothersome to me. Until one day someone did it raw to me and "I saw the light". Condoms were the problem all along.
  21. You can get Gonorrhea, Chlamydia or syphilis easily without ass play. I've got the first two from sucking cock in the past. While BB makes it a bit more likely you'll catch something, if you really don't want to catch anything your only solution is to abstain.
  22. In Spain here, and PrEP is still largely unknown in the gay community, even by those people who frequent the gay venues. Main factor, like in the UK, is there is no official approval or way to get it from the healthcare system, and because of that, there is no effort to promote it (why promote something that is not available?) There's obviously quite a bit of underground/worth of mouth/generic imports movement going on, but it's no substitute for full blown promotion campaigns that come once a protocol has been officially approved. And it won't happen until we get PrEP the right way.
  23. Any regular doctor can prescribe, but they may be uncomfortable with it. Ask for any gay doctor around you, they should know.
  24. Was/Is your POZ friend not on meds and therefore has a viral load?
