Regarding IPERGAY, it's not clear at all the benefit came from intermitent dosage. The people on the study were so slutty that 'on average' they were taking 4-5 pills per week. We've seen before that +4 pills/week is close to perfect protection, so their protection could come from accumulated levels over time and not from the just taken pill. Also to answer the OP, the usual talked about regime is: 7 days to 'load up', fuck like no tomorrow, stop, 30 days to wind down sort of like a PEP regime just in case.

Anybody Go To 442 Natoma Sex Club?
rawfuckr replied to cumluver's topic in San Francisco / Oakland / San Jose
I've been to 442 natoma, but only during cumunion, and it has been a blast both times. There seems to bit of everything and after being a bit there you sort get into the vibe of things and don't care so much about looks. I was walking around the other day after having got a hot load in my ass and I needed to dump one myself, and I saw this hot furry ass right next to me and just stuck my cock in there, filled in up, and walked away. Hot. Long story short, you should totally go, that hot furry ass will get lots of attention. -
The study on the post was with straight people. Also, IV users with close to perfect adherence showed 70% prep efficacy... So prep seems to offer close to perfect protection for gay men, less so for other groups. So prep breakthrough seroconversions can happen and resistance is a concern. No one should live their life thinking prep is bulletproof. Nothing is.

The way euro goverments are delaying the introduction of PrEP to save a few euros is sad. Europe could approve PrEP today and take the cost of brand Truvada for a couple of years until generics arrive yet they choose to delay it until they get the cheap stuff, and create all these 'trials' to prove what's already been proven ad nauseaum. Thanks to France! for seeing that this doesn't make any sense, and that approving PrEP now is the right thing to do, economically and sensically.

This new study further makes the case for PrEP. Some people were concerned that if you seroconvert while on PrEP you'll develop resistant strains while taking PrEP. This seem to have happened during partners PrEP, a straight study of PrEP users. Seems like if you simply stop PrEP after seroconverting the resistant strains will disappear and you'll get regular strains flourishing which are vulnerable to normal drugs. If I understand it correctly, this means you have to be off meds for a bit for this to happen which I'm not sure it's optimal. http://www.aidsmap.com/Drug-resistance-acquired-during-HIV-PrEP-rapidly-disappears-after-medication-is-discontinued/page/3020093/

Being HIV+ is defined as having established a HIV viral reservoir that to this day, is an irreversible, for life status. PrEP works by stopping HIV from establishing this reservoir so your body fluids can't infect others while on PrEP. Others that fuck you getting infected from foreign high viraled loads is a theoretical possibility...

I have really good news for you. Gilead changed the copay assistance program so they will now reimburse without monthly limits up to $3600/year. So fill that RX at the beginning of the year and Gilead will pick up all your deductible and you'll be even done with medicals deductibles for the rest of the year.
-
Like everyone else I pay zero. I was actually paying $10 every three months with my obamacare plan. I felt it was ridiculous to ask gilead to pay for the the $10 when the refill is ~$4K but eventually decided they should just cover it all with the copay card and use money for a beer

He 'may' have implied that you've chosen not to use barrier protection for rimming which is where hep B is a problem. In that context the comment could have had a more clinical nature... I'd cut a lot of slack to a doctor who's 70+ working at a catholic hospital anyway.

The USA model is not that great either. There's heavy reliance on people going to their regular doctors for prep but most doctors are clueless about it. With the French model it's just about getting people to the right center. How common are sex clinics throughout France?
-
Was reading more about it and seems they'll have to go through specific clinics and hospitals. This could make it difficult for some people to go on it vs the USA model where any doctor can prescribe. If that's the case it will require a lot more outreach and it will just be more difficult in general to go on it.

There's zero concern regarding cipla trustworthiness. They are a huge generics manufacturer with a good track record. The weak link is still the online pharmacies. Testing drug levels is as good as its going to get for a while. If enough people keep getting tested for levels we can sort of reliably white list online pharmacies...
-
Very good news indeed. This make it that most people in the USA with insurance will be able to get PrEP for free regardless of deductibles. There will still be people with >$3600 deductible but a big step forward.

I know a guy who gets PrEP from the VA (Veterans Affairs) system
-
Fantastic resource! Specially the fact they are testing the drug levels of people who are taking generics to validate authenticity.

Got back from ultrasound and it could actually be much worse. I don't think I'll update this thread about it. Thanks guys.

No HIV cures anywhere. Not even close. HIV may actually be incurable, (due to HIV hiding in places we can never reach) and all we can aspire to is a 'functional cure' where you don't need to take drugs. I see one HIV cure in the news every day.. stop sharing this BS.

I did a search for this, but didn't find anyone talking about this. Long story short, I've been topping a lot bare lately. Since a few weeks I noticed this tenderness on the top of my right testicle. A visit to the doctor and he said it really sounded like Epididymitis. Got a shot of antibiotics (250 mb of Rocephin intra muscular) and 1gram of Zytromax. My urine test came back as negative for clam and gono, so I may have been infected with something else that's not those two. Going for an US soon to see what's up. It's got better since the antibiotics but it's not totally resolved. My right balls seems to want to crawl inside which is weird, never did that. I'm a bit annoyed at this whole thing and I'd like to ask if someone has had similar testicular problems?

Hiv+ People Who Are Ud And Oraquick Test Results
rawfuckr replied to disorder's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
I've done this to a +UD friend. He got a faint positive line on Oraquick, but it was there, therefore HIV+ according to Oraquick. -
The only think I could think of, is if you went on meds the day after seroconversion. You may not give your body a chance to develop ABs that show up in the test, when you are effectively positive. A positive PCR test would be conclusive. Which is what you should do in your case if there's any doubt.

Taking Other Medications As Prep.
rawfuckr replied to wood's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
It's with all likelihood absolutely fine. Actually better than Truvada alone. The reason for Truvada only PrEP is cost and side effects... Some people suggest poz guys on meds can't get reinfected because they are effectifly on a PrEP regimen. -
There could be something to it. Things like HPV are so incredibly common that must have been with us for millions of years, and it's hard not to see some evolutionary interplay there.
