Just wondering if you could update us on how your prep experiment is going thus far? Have you found your sexual habits changing at all now that you have some additional risk reduction, side effects ,etc ? I'm sure your readers are interested in hearing about your experience. thanks!!

For those of you who are wondering what emb is talking about, I started PrEP (i.e. taking HIV meds when you're neg to avoid becoming poz). You can find the details about my decison to go on PrEP on my blog...

To answer emb's question - it's been uneventful. There was one brief moment when I had some nausea, but don't know that it was caused by the Truvada. I have been taking more sexual risks - going to sex parties and doing stuff I didn't used to do. I like the fact that I have the additional layer of protection since it sort of balances the additional risk. It's fun to be a slut and I'd probably do most of it anyway, even without PrEP, but it's nice to know I probably won't become poz in the process.

The new lower level of risk has made me think about pushing the limits at next year's MAL - hosting parties where guys share loads - dumping cum out of one guy's ass into a condom and then putting the contents of the condom up some other guy's ass. That's a scenario where even tops can take loads - and lots of them. I had sort of come to peace with the idea of becoming poz before I went on PrEP, but then when I re-evaluated PrEP and saw it wasn't so bad, I figured why not stay neg? At the same time my desire to stay neg isn't so strong that I'll curb my sexual experimentation...
