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. -
This article has mostly gone unnoticed but it seems to provide a plausible way in which PrEP may just not work for some people. http://www.aidsmap.com/Study-sheds-light-on-how-tenofovir-is-processed-in-different-body-tissues/page/2985533/ Some people genetic makeup make it difficult to metabolize Tenofovir properly in certain areas of the body. Article talks in particular about women and vaginal tissue, and how 8% of women tested had gene makeup that suggests inneficient Tenofovir processing leading to improper levels for protection. It's murky from the article what happens in rectal tissue and if there's a segment of subjects who also struggle to process Tenofovir properly in those areas. A bright point of this is that if if true, we could actually get tested before starting PrEP to know if it would be protective for a particular individual or not.

Let's assume that all the PrEP breakthrough cases floating around 2 or 3 are real, all of them show resistance to emtricitabine. This could be because: a. Original infecting virus was resistance to this and therefore PrEP was less efective b. Infection happened and person developed resistance through the use of the only two drugs in Truvada I think a. is unlikely because guys on meds are not infectious and guys NOT on meds don't usually have resistant viruses. I think b. is a lot more likely and reinforces the need of getting tested frequently. Actually in one case on the Partners PrEP study (straight study) this was conclusively the case. Person developed resistance by taking Truvada while being infected. I'm assuming we'll hear sooner than later about the PrEP breakthrough cases with carefuly study and they'll tell us the whole story.

When I used condoms I had them breaking on me many times. Specially when lube was not properly used and guy had a big cock. Some guys have really big cocks and condoms just rolls up into your ass. Sometimes this happens after they've come and you end with a load in your ass anyway which would have been the same as fucking bare. If I condom didn't break, didn't slip, were used all throughout the session.. you may be looking at 100% protection for HIV. Real world usage brings their efficacy down to 70%-90% ...

2 Years And A Half On Prep. Are You Taking More Loads Now?
rawfuckr replied to rawfuckr's topic in PrEP Discussion
HPV is extremely congagious and condoms are not of much help for not covered areas. This is for example why pubes are there, to avoid HPV and other viruses from being passed on. I'll never understand why some guys shave completely. I think your body can also clear gono and chlam on its own, so lots of folks must get infected and clear automatically. It's the infections that stick that are problematic. I get tested very frequently, therefore why I may have caught things early. Syphilis is not fun but easily treatable you should get tested often. And Herpes I think most guys get it eventually, both HSV-1 and HSV-2, it just doesn't seem much of a big deal for most people. For some, with recurrent outbreaks there is Valtrex that works very well. -
2 Years And A Half On Prep. Are You Taking More Loads Now?
rawfuckr replied to rawfuckr's topic in PrEP Discussion
Got chlamydia twice in the butt and once in the mouth in this timeframe. Condoms would have probably avoided the one in the butt... Chlamydia is the most common one apparently (after HPV that we all have and noone gets tested for). Previous to PrEP I had got gonorrhea in the mouth once, so I'm sort of living proof that the 'there are other STDs out there' argument against PrEP is bullshit unless you are using condoms too for cocksucking, which I don't know anyone doing it. -
I'm a PrEP veteran I guess, been doing it for 2.5 years. While I was sort of selective of who I'd let cum in my ass before, it has now become into a 'sure! breed me if you want' attitude without much previous discussion of anything. Without any discussion actually. I'm now getting fucked raw much more often and the number of loads I'm taking has increased substantially. Not sure if I should be doing this, but it's fun. Have you guys started getting fucked more/taken more loads >1 year into being on PrEP? My baseline before PrEP was definitely bad in the 'safer sex' realm but it's really bad right now.

Ggd Amsterdam Gets Permission To Start A Prep Test Project
rawfuckr replied to NLbear's topic in PrEP Discussion
Cost seems to be the problem in Europe. I would like to see exactly when we could get generic Truvada in Europe. I've heard some people say 2016? USA seems 2017 is the year, but first generic versions may not be much cheaper than the brand name. Fascinating read about generic Truvada availability in the USA can be found here: http://www.ethantheblog.info/?p=50 -
Just to reinforce bearbandit's comment, guys tested today only know they were negative 3 months ago, and if infected they are likely very infectious right now without them knowing. I usually think that if you are having this conversation with your sexual partners is a good thing, but not a super effective way to keep HIV away. Real risk reduction things you could do is avoid getting loads, but still getting fucked raw, o you being the top most of the time. Obviously PrEP would be fantastic for you but it´s not available quite yet in the UK.

Statistics. The more loads you take the more likely you are to get pozzed. PrEP reduces your chances 99%, but if your chances are high to start with you can still get pozzed.
-
Maybe getting pozzed on PrEP while taking the pill every day is the new "Was using condoms every time but got pozzed when the condom broke".

Count me in. Seems like I'm going through phases of total sluttery followed by celibate season because I get afraid. I guess we are not used to the freedom of having sex the way we want it. At least for me, I've been having sex with men for 15+ years with the fear of HIV always present. You can't expect that fear to go away overnight specially when you add all the nuances of PrEP protection. It will take a while for everyone to settle in their personal happy medium.

Actually I had thought someone in Europe or somewhere should pick this one up. Buy generic Truvada from online pharmacies, check the stuff in the lab to make sure it's the real thing, and 'certify' the pharmacies from time to time. This can't be official in any way, but still much better option than not having PrEP available at all, which seems the current status quo in Europe. If Europe/Australia can't make the finances work they should allow exit avenues for people at risk to get on PrEP somehow.

Had a situation today where a hot couple who are both 100% tops (yeah right) wanted to tag team on my ass. All was going fine until I mentioned I was neg on PrEP. Answer was "we are neg but use condoms 100%" Should I: a ) Try to convince them they are at zero risk. I'm on PrEP, tested neg 2 weeks ago, they are the tops. Very low risk for them. b ) Let it go (obviously not getting fucked with rubbers. I'd rather just suck cock) If you feel I should try a) what points should I bring them up to sway them to drop the rubbers?

For How Long Insurance Companies Are Going To Cover Prep?
rawfuckr replied to a topic in PrEP Discussion
Don't remember the name of this insurance company, but they already backtracked. They are going out of business and they are trying to save every single dime. Insurance companies that are concerned with the cost of Truvada have Prior Authorizations that require to make sure this is given out only to high risk groups. Insurance companies are not stupid and if they can give Truvada to the right people, virtually anyone in this forums, they'll save money long run. -
Video: Poz Guys Advocating For Prep In Australia
rawfuckr replied to rawTOP's topic in PrEP Discussion
There's clearly a threshold where if you give PrEP to the right people you are going to save money. Treating poz people for a lifetime is going to be way more expensive than providing PrEP. Where is the threshold though? I did see a canadian study which did the math and for PrEP to 'save money to the system' you would have to assume it's 90% effective and carefully give it to those who are at real risk of getting HIV.. if you start giving PrEP to the worrybees who only suck cock you are going to lose money for sure. Like you, I'm pretty sure all these countries are waiting for going ahead with cheaper generic versions.. otherwise, it just hard to justify the cost. -
Some people compain about having the runs.. but if it's Truvada caused it goes away in week. If not, check with your doctor
