Prep How Long Have You Been On It, And Are You Still Neg?

I've been on PrEP for two and a half years now. I first started taking PrEP when I signed up for a clinical study for PrEP's effectiveness. That was a study through UCLA. Some may recall my experience. I chronicled it. During the clinical trial, I started stepping out and barebacking more at sex parties and with undetectable tops and bottoms. I am an avid gloryhole bottom so I love taking anon raw loads as well. I was tested every three months (it's standard protocol) and  came back neg every time. After the trial, I continued with PrEP through my insurance. Since then, I've continued the three month testing regimen (again, standard PrEP protocol) and I have come back neg everytime. The only down fall... I have had chlamydia twice, gonorrea once, and syphillis. The first two STI's were easily taken care of. The syphilis on the other hand required a shot. Very painful. With that being said, I am still undetered. I will continue to give and take loads. I still go to the baths, bookstores, gloryholes, parties and cruising spots. Last week, I went to a spot in near the mountains and took 5 loads. I just love making a day out of Route 66 and taking loads.

 

I have had no side effects and I have also found a way to stock up on the antibiotics necessary to treat the basic STI's (Chlamydia, Gonorrea and Syphillis ). When I suspect something, I consult my CDC treatment guide. I teach at a medical school so I have access to this. Others may not. I augment that with my usual three month tests. It works for me but may not work for others. For those wondering, I try and keep Azithromax, Amoxicilin, Ciproflaxin and Doxcycline. All recommened by the CDC for STI treatment(s).

Two months in. Best sexual health decision I have ever made. I don't even care about status any more.
