They are now recommending prep does not need to be taken every day.  2 pills the day you’re planning to have sex, one pill  following for two days.

can we not fuck around with testing the limits here until we have confirmation? correlation =/= causation. I'm a bugchaser and not on prep, but I really firmly believe in not fucking with the effectiveness of prep or creating prevention failure from resistance because of anecdotal articles.

Gotta agree with this. Some of the research does looks promising, but i don't think there is published study evidence to make it a reasonably sure thing.

My doctor recommends Prep every day, said she is not comfortable with on-demand scenarios because you can easily forget, not have access to it or run the risk of lowered effectiveness. As a side note, she gave me an HPV immunization, a pneumococcal immunization (mono, etc), a Hep B immunization and agreed with my question about preventative doxy to prevent Syph, Ghono and Chlam (100mg daily).  So with the daily doxycyline , the daily Prep and the proper immunizations you can drastically lower the chances of everything but Hep C.
