Poz Guy Against PrEP = A Guy Against Abortion? None of their business?
relief4u replied to rawTOP's topic in PrEP Discussion
First time I've posted here so apologize in advance if I do or say something wrong. This one just hit me the wrong way today. Responding to the question of who should have a voice in the debate - it's everyone. There will always be those who say things just to get a rise out of others. That doesn't mean we then limit who can comment or join the discussion. If PrEP can help end or nearly end HIV then there is no reason not to have it as an option - assuming we continue the effort to find a way to cure those already living with HIV. I'd love to wake up some day and not have to think about taking pills. I'd also like knowing there isn't something in my body actively trying to kill me every day. I didn't make a choice 20+ years ago but many now assume I did - because "everyone" knows to use a condom or abstain or, now, to use PrEP. So just consider that someone who expresses a negative view about PrEP may be just as RawTop said, upset that he didn't have the option. And, he doesn't want to see "neg + PrEP" or "disease-free" in another profile as someone else mentioned seeing. Maybe it's better to uncover the real reason someone would react negatively before saying that all HIV+ people should be excluded - many of have dealt with enough of that already. Thanks for listening.
