Do you think this site is hard to navigate?

This seems to me to be one of the easier sites to navigate. Well organized top line menu; simply select and go. Jim -
I gave up on PrEP when I retired. Virtually no side effects, and I was glad to be protected. But once retired and on Medicare we buy our drug coverage separately. And just adding PrEP puts me into a hugely expensive drug plan compared to zero cost right now for everything else. So no PrEP for me. I would have no issue with a $40 per month copay; but fixed income does not support much more. Conversely, at least here in Wisconsin if I poz, I can get free medications through a variety of state programs. Now from a public health perspective; I think PrEP is excellent; But until we do here what it appears other nations do and get the cost into a reasonable place; I can't see a case for PrEP.

Fast forward five years... And the doc's point is worth considering. TaSP is quite effective all by itself. If one mostly bareback's Undetectable poz guys one's risk of HIV is virtually nil. But indeed even still five years later it is the other STI's which are dominating the infectious disease guys. And treatments for those more challenging. And while it is possible mRNA solutions might be combatively near at hand for those; the things it is this fairly continuous set of STI's that my local clinic treats me for much more often than 10 years ago I was on PrEP until I retired and started Medicare. It is cost prohibitive for me to buy a drug plan that includes PrEP; whereas their are still no cost HIV treatment available (at least by me). I honestly don't much care since I am on similar medication either way; and long term prognosis is acceptable either way. So PrEP for my particular demographic is too expensive.
