Pitt1988 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Scheduled an appointment with a nice "gay friendly" doc here in Pa; i was wondering if anyone who's been on the meds for at least a year or recent users has any input on any surprising side effects, if you have been going raw more often and have not experienced any issues so far as efficacy, and also have you had any issues with other sti's; thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinfuljock Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well i've only been on for five months, but can address some of your questions. I had slight stomach issues for the first few days and a headache (may not have been related since I do get headaches pretty frequently and other meds also cause them). After that nothing noticeable. I have been going raw with more people - only fucked bare with bf before (actually only fucked with bf before...) Had my three month checkup and was clear. Also tested for other STI (been every month since I've been fucking around) and surprisingly haven't caught anything - fingers crossed. So so far has been great...basically all the fun without the worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaker30 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 March will be a year for me. Never had any side effects like stomach problem. Only "side effect" was about 2 1/2 weeks of very vivid, intense dreams. Not bad just extremely realistic and strange ones. Kinda miss that actually because it was interesting.

Can anyone add to this as well? I specifically remember when starting PrEP I also had about a 2 week period of wet dreams. They're completely gone now but I remember the dreams specifically and when I'd wake up they're be cum in my bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinfuljock Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 i didn't have dreams but then i've had insomnia for years so basically sleep on ambian / lunesta or not at all (and try not to take all the time...only when i haven't slept for too long) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexxxpigg Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have been on it for about 4 months now. No side effects and no issues. BB'ing more for sure and enjoying it. Had my 3 month check up and STI check up and all good. If you can get on it, I say do it. Side effects seem mild if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenf Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I went to my first appointment with my first gay doctor with a list of 7 questions, and #1 was about Truvada. I was completely taken aback by the pushback I got for even bringing the subject up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitt1988 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Ignore him and look elsewhere; remember there is alot of healthcare and gay advocate organizations wanting us to feel guilty about condoms and protection; we have had 30 years of fear and stress over this virus, now that we have a tool to release the fear and feel sexually liberated everyone should be happy and excited about this breakthrough, not the case for some however, try finding another doctor to discuss this with or just get a prescription elsewhere, good luck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
