Reasons to make the decision to stop with prep


Recommended Posts

Also, COVID is also still a thing, and HIV is a major comorbidity.  I’m still dealing with PTSD and long haul symptoms from my over my 8-week long COVID experience + bacterial pneumonia that piggy-backed along, then 6-8 weeks of pneumonia recovery, then another 6 months on oxygen, then a partial coronary artery blockage that was exacerbated by both, then cardiac catheterization, the whole while getting winded from walking 50 to 100 feet.  Finally a year and nine months later, I’m getting back to normal.  Oh, and at the height of Covid while in the hospital, my CD4s dropped into the mid-30s.  All because a jackass who knew he was exposed chose to attend a public event indoors.  He was also hospitalized and intubated, but I never was able to find out if he survived.

You don’t want either, and you definitely don’t want both.  Get vaccinated for Covid, take Prep, and once we get a vaccine for HIV, get that.
