Met w/my doc 7 weeks ago and told her I believed I should go on PrEP as I had been having raw sex with guys for some time. I educated myself on the topic well in advance (CDC website, friends on PrEP, articles from Gay community publications, etc). She admitted she was not up to date on the subject but complimented me on my research and knowledge. She asked if it was ok for her to query the infectious disease/HIV specialist (I get my medical work done at Stanford University Medical Center). The specialist asked me to visit him for a one time consult. After a couple of Qs he agreed I was a good candidate for PrEP and prescribed it. (I had already gotten all the requisite blood tests: HIV, STDs, kidney panel, etc). I pay $35.00 for a month's supply of PrEP. I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO.
I have been on PrEP for a month with no adverse affects. Provides peace of mind!
