  1. I did not. I asked a question to know if what the doctors (allegedly) told you was in general or meant for your personal medical situation. And please do not assume to know what is better for my health than me and my doctor who HAS studied medicine, is aware of my dating habits AND knows my medical history! Talked bout this with a friend because I was a little upset after reading your posts. He straightened me out.
  2. I read I'm forbidden to use other languages than English on this website, so I can't give you the text but in my country both uses of PrEP are part of the guide-lines our general practitioners use. The local health counsels who offer sexual health clinic also use these. Wikipedia too says 2-1-1 is off-label, but in Europe there are two ways to take this medication and it's up to the doctor. Mine told me she hadn't heard of it before when I asked for it. So she did her research first, and she told me initially she wasn't keen on proscribing it because it seemed illogical to give medication to someone who isn't ill. But anyway, in my case she was still a bit worried about my kidney-function as I'm also taking other medication and we had a very open talk about dating. She made me promise to really stick to the event-schedule which starts with waiting 2 hours between taking PrEP and having sex. That's not a problem because having a shower, cleaning out, brushing my teeth and getting dressed usually takes me about an hour to an hour-and-half already. So if my date comes to my house I jus have him come half an hour after that and if I go to my date it's almost always two hours later. Last time I dated I used the alarm-clock on my smart-phone which was really funny when it went off when I was at this guys house. LOL Oh and my doctor told me that if I did make a mistake by missing a dose or take it to late or don't wait long enough to get in touch immediately if I had sex without a condom, and ask for PEP. So I do not think you are right and I trust my own doctor more than I trust you. You are not very clear what your are saying. What do you mean when saying half way through you are not suggesting one way to use PrEP or the other, but after that you list only reasons do use it daily. I don't mean to insult you, but there are people online saying stupid things about Covid-19 not being real and that vaccinations don't work or are a conspiracy who tell me to read for myself, examine the data for myself, bla bla bla. I'm not doing that, I had my two slabs and no problem. So I hope you don't mind I don't listen to you now. Yo
  3. Hi, So you've asked doctors, and gotten this advice for your personal situation? Otherwise they are technically right that it's 'off-label use' but they don't know anything about it I think. Besides in France and The Netherlands, both options (daily or intermittently) are also given for gay and bisexual men bij the NYC health officials: [think before following links] https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/health/health-topics/pre-exposure-prophylaxis-prep.page
  4. I have recently started taking PrEP daily and was looking for experiences other men have who use it. I am sorry to have just read your story because there are two important things missing in what people have been telling you. First your question: Yes I think PrEP will have given you some but not the full protection. So the risk you have been exposed to is less. I do not know if you have been stealthed by the guy that fucked you and is now ghosting you but it is always prudent to assume someone you have sex with is HIV-positive and that is why it is smart to take PrEP and/or use a condom. But you probably know that already. The first think I am missing is the fact that it might have been advisable to have gone on PEP for a month. One of the guys that answered your question did post a link to prepster.info where this is explained. I don't know why he did not tell you this in his reply: MISSED DOSE? If you miss a dose or mess up the timing, continue with the follow-up doses and contact your sexual health clinic for advice on your options. This may include starting PEP – see below for more details about risk. And the other thing nobody has been talking about are other STD's.
