Starting PreP, my toughts

[Guest]

Some months ago I got stealthed in a sauna.... 

For some odd reason I did not minded, I even left the guy bred me a second time... it was hot, but as always when the honriness finishes I have to deal with the rational decision of keep on living, paying taxes, working, taking care of family and friends, and so I decided to go on PeP.

I hated it tbh, it was my second time, both time for stealthing and meds where killing my stomach... some days I even started taking the meds lates and one day I was partoculary annoyed at them and in a odd mood... I ended up flushing some of thems.

I promissed myself no more annoying wait for results and super combinations of drugs: If I was gonna be poz I would just had sex w poz guys and wait at least a bit before taking meds and If I was gonna be neg, I would go on PreP to avoid the hussle.

 

At the end the results came. Neg. Doctor told me it was safe for me to start PreP now, and so today I rodered my first 3 months supply.

I'm puzled... a part of me is scared since I know that once on PreP I would probably have no inhibitions and I will do things so dangerous I could not even dream before.

Saunsas, dark rooms, bbrt orgys and maybe even PnP... who knows where i'll stop.

 

A part of me is scared. 

I wanted to ask Preppers some questions:

•Did you become so slutty you could not control yourself?

•Did Prep made you catch more stds apart from HIV obviously

•After how long did you knew it was working?

•And if you stopped taking Prep why was it?

I think PrEP makes me less slutty because I feel like a cheater to my lovers and myself.  I can't have what I want most from my partner, which is his Gift. Cheating is fun, except when you are the loser.  

But I get lots of STDs either from my partner or my other lovers.  I don't know if its more than before PrEP, because I started PrEP when I got serious with my partner who is an STD magnet.  

It took PrEP a couple of weeks to really take hold, the best I can tell.  Too bad I didn't just have an allergic reaction so that I could stop taking it.  

I'm deciding whether to quit PrEP.  I skipped a few doses last week when my partner was out of town and couldn't supervise me taking it.  If I go the rest of the way and quit 100 percent, it will be because I want my partner to share his Gift with me.  And if he won't do it, I would still feel closer to him if we shared the same HIV status even if it isn't literally the exact same bug.  

I get around plenty, but I would get around even more if I felt better about not being a cheater on PrEP, so maybe I would lose some control and be a bigger sex addict than I already am if I can find more guys around here to breed.

I was already pretty slutty. PrEP just made me less worried. 

I haven't noticed any difference in the frequency of STIs because I was already taking lots of bare cock. 

I don't know what you mean. I cannot "feel" it working. I got fucked within a few days of starting. 

Still neg after two years and still on PrEP.

Get on it and live out those slutty fantasies.  You can always change your mind later, but you are probably craving to let loose so live it up for now I've been on PrEP 3 years - a couple months ago I switched and am now in a Trial study for a new PrEP drug.  PART of my reason was the slightly increased risk/thrill of not knowing if I'm on the study drug and it's effectiveness.  For many years I was a total bareback top - purely out of fear.  Then started dabbling as a raw bottom and LOVED it.  But even after getting on PrEP it didn't "feel" like it was doing anything - zero side effects - fear and routine still kept me on top most of the time.  I'm not sure what happened to finally tip the scales, but in 2016 I totally embraced being vers and was getting fucked and bred equally to topping.  I've had a couple of STIs in the past 18 months (ass and throat twice, none in my cock), which I hadn't had in years before even though I was always raw then too.  I think the rise in STIs is the fact that almost everyone is fucking raw now (at least where I am), so there is a lot more to go around....not the fact that I personally am fucking raw.

I've had so many sleazy encounters the past couple years that pretty much everything that used to be piggy bareback fantasies in porn is now part of my reality.  Honestly kind of running out of fantasies and having to raise the sleaze bar!  Since getting on the trial, I've determined to be the best test subject I can.  I've been skewing way more bottom .  This week alone I've had two "total bottoms"  fuck me, which I loved more than tops fucking me for some weird reason lol.  In the past 3 weeks, I've gone to the bathhouse once and sex club once another time for "blackout" night.  I left my condo fully intending to be a cumdump for multiple loads, and I succeeded.  Today is a rainy Saturday, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up there again today.  This behavior is truly a first for me, and I'm loving it!  I can tell from your post and questions and prior posts you're craving to be a bigger slut.  Your post starts by saying you were "stealthed" at the sauna. I don't know you, but just guessing that you might've known that rubber came off - and you wanted it off - but you didn't feel as slutty/stupid if you pretend to not know

Get on it and pig out - you are craving it - you can always go off it for whatever reason later!  Disclaimer****it's hard - if not impossible - to stop being a bareback whore once you've become one lol

1) I'd say that I'm definitely more slutty, but not necessarily out of control.  I'm still a little picky about who/where I fuck, but not as picky as I used to be.  For instance, in terms of hookups that I've arranged on websites and apps, I've played with guys that were poz and undetectable, but I haven't knowingly played with anyone that was poz and not on meds (but I can't claim that I've never done that because of anonymous bathhouse fucks I've done where status wasn't discussed at all). 

2) Like @drscorpio commented, I haven't noticed any increase.  I've had chlamydia about 3-4 times now, and it's been about half before I was on PrEP and half after. 

3) You don't "know" that it's working.  When I first got on it, I was told that it would take 10-14 days (about two weeks) to "build up" in my system for complete effectiveness.

4) I haven't stopped taking it and don't plan to stop unless I have a damn good reason (eg. if it causes other health problems like liver issues, or if I met someone and decided to be monogamous or something).

Also, like @drscorpio said, it has made me less worried, and I've also been on it for over two years with no problems.  There was one period where my blood tests showed high liver function levels, but they ended up to be caused by some antibiotics I was on for some stomach issues, not the Truvada itself.

Blood tests can be thrown off by a lot of factors.  During one test my kidney reading was high and so was my creatinine level.  Based on that word creatinine I told the Dr I had been using creatine as a workout supplement which requires you to stay more hydrated, and I wasn't drinking enough water and was even getting muscle cramps.  I made a point of drinking more water and test was normal the next time.

I'd recommend discussing with the doctor any possible unrelated reasons for unusual blood tests before giving up on Truvada just from one "out of range" test.

Yes, that's exactly what we did.  The doctor noticed the high levels and asked me to come back a month later to re-test.  The re-test levels were back to normal.

That is so damn true!

Tbh so far i only fucked as a top but its completely different than fucking w condom! so much hotter!

Plus i like to play innocent at time and let others convince me to do bb pretending im not on prep lol

[Guest]

So far so good i'd gueess.

Took some good loads up my ass and  bred several fuckers. The fear i used to have is gone now, i enter darkrooms and orgy with great excitement.

So far i refused to test till the end of the last month of meds.

I admit i did not take any pills for 5 days before going to a bb sauna event, that was so damn hot!

Im looking for someone with a very strong poz load to test the meds one more time. Must say, prep made me sluttier and more willing to do risky things and consider  more chasing.

Hey everyone.  Long time lurker, first post. About a year ago I joined the BBBH and haven't looked back.  After a few raw encounters a fuck bud recommended I jump on Truvada.  So after testing NEG my doctor prescribed it for me and I've maintained my neg  status since.  I wouldn't say it has made me sluttier, but I have almost entirely abandoned condoms. 

I'm curious to know if anyone on here knows of someone who seroconverted while on Truvada and taking it properly?  I know the studies show about 3 or 4 cases.  But I wonder sometimes if the drug industry doesn't supress the bad news in light of how effective Truvada is at preventing HIV. 

I'd like to explore more scenarios where I know condoms won't be available, like bathhouses and CODE parties here in DC.

Hey Guy... PrEP works. maybe close to 99% effective when taken properly.  I know everyone loves a good Drug Industry cover-up, but I am pretty confident that the 3 reported cases are IT ! In my outreach and testing experience its a GOD SEND and hope more jump on the bandwagon... Good Luck

[boy4you]

Before PrEP came out it was condoms only then I started taking PrEP it was anything goes. I became a Slut and would do anything. I would slam be on G and PNP for days. I would be in a drug haze that I would forget to take PrEP and got knockup Poz. 

[AZRawPig]

FUCKN HOT!  That's exactly the same types of thing's I am having too. 

[liger]

I'm bi and currently investigating my PrEP options. To be honest, the only part of sex with guys that really appeals to me (apart from foot stuff) is getting fucked raw and finishing with a cum-filled hole. I'm not personally interested in getting pozzed (although I respect others' choices), so I constantly feel inhibited and cautious. I can guarantee I'll be MUCH sluttier on PrEP.
