PrEP IN THE NAME OF LOVE

I don't think people are talking about this much--other than mags featuring ads for Truvada or PreP who might therefore soft-pedal it's risks. If there is a new way to stay HIV- w/o condoms, then bring it on, throw your legs up and take multiple loads. I'll join you! But if that new way involves trusting an HIV+ top who you just met online or is drunk in a bar and he SAYS he's on PreP but may have missed a few doses which raises his viral load up to a point where he could infect you, then you're putting your life in the hands of a complete stranger. I know that getting HIV is no longer a death sentence. I also know that drugs can mutate and that I'm constantly hearing that young people don't use condoms. As Greg Scarnici​ says here, many people ask tricks who want to use condoms not to bother. I often get guys telling me that a condom reduces their sensitivity. To which I say, "Laying in a coffin reduces mine."
