PrEP is a topic of conversation sexually active gay men should have with their doctor. While it may not make sense for everyone, understanding the impact the drug may have on you and our community is important. Recently researchers from Gilead Sciences, Truvada’s manufacturer, presented findings from their analysis of several studies at the ASM Microbe 2016 conference in Boston. This was what they learned:
An analysis of 32 studies of Truvada a.k.a. PrEP found that almost all of those who contracted HIV had undetectable or very low levels of the drug in their bodies at the time.
The takeaway message is if you choose to use PrEP and are engaging in sexually risky behavior you MUST make sure you take your medication as prescribed. You can read the full findings online here.

In a couple of weeks I’ll be 60 — guys, I lost way too many friends – just play safe – condoms are actually not all that expensive. I just do not want to go to any more funerals. If I actually started to list names this post would be way too frigging long. Even if you are taking the drug – slip a condom on – better safe than sorry.
