Actually, "on-demand" PrEP works well for bottoms. You're basically protected after 2 hours. (If you then take it again every 24 hours until ~48 hours after your last sexual encounter.) This is because the primary risk for bottoms is in your GI tract, and that's where the medicine is immediately after you take it.

But a longer period is needed if you are a top or have a vagina and have vaginal sex. But tops are substantially less likely to get HIV (about 6.5x less risk).

yes, after 2 hours a double dose u can immediately take raw loads. maybe this pic gives you a better idea how on demand works

Hi! I use it on demand for 3 years now. You have to find out the best time for you (breakfast/lunch/Dinner). Always after the  shot with 2 pills I have strange dreams, but after that…..that's it.  Good luck, it is super safe.

Its totally safe but the side effects made me switch to daily. with on demand i had headache, feeling tired, had strange dreams. when i switched to daily i notice the side effects where gone in 2/3 weeks. also it's easier because i have almost everyday bareback sex so daily is the best choice for me

Thanks @rawTOP.

Do you know how much longer the period should be for a top, or where to find that piece of information?
