3. let Greg Owens at THT  [think before following links] [think before following links] https://www.tht.org.uk/contact-us  know the details, even confidentially; this is a battle (mostly against ignorance) they and he are well equipped to fight.

Is there a shortage of prep about in the UK now (brixit or covid related)?  Ive been looking to buy some and it seems out of stock?

The sexual heath clinics are currently appointment only and only dealing with emergencies rather than routine.

Not available to every one in the UK limited areas.

It is free in Scotland

But i have no intention whatsoever of taking it

It's available in Lincoln sexual health clinic. I found them to be helpful and profesional and I didn't feel judged for enjoying BB sex

Been free in Scotland for quite a few years now. Really nice non judgmental clinic I go to for testing and supplies. You have the option not to tell GP so very confidential.

It's free - the only problem is the clinics are quite busy. I picked up 3 bottles yesterday from Dean St in Soho. They also checked me out for syphilis etc and in the middle of the night i had a string of text messages telling me all the things i haven't got.  Anus clear. Throat clear. I wondered about forwarding the messages to my mother so she doesn't need to worry.  Plus there are always lots of cute guys in the waiting room. And every one of them a slut, or they wouldn't be there. Bless.

It depends entirely on area; it’s not prep it’s staff

 

speaking with the local sexual health clinic, they are really hurting for two things

- staff shortages and a huge backlog built up from Covid absences.

- when prep was commissioned it seems there were no/limited Additional staff for supporting the extra needs prep has brought on. (Kidney function testing, and other stuff as well as training up staff to be prep-people, it all sounds silly but it’s not trivial stuff. )

a couple of things…

make sure you get on the waitlist, it’s annoying but it’s something your local sexual health clinic can wave at the commissioners for more resource and
let Prepster know, Prepster.info as they are acting as point on getting shit sorted out.

 

it’s not particularly helpful but Prepster and I wantprepnow both have all the details for ordering (yeah paying for it) in the meantime.
