Is this stuff healthy to take I know some people have side effects but for the most part it seems safe I’m thinking about getting on it because of my risk to HIV.
Do everything in your power to prevent putting yourself at risk for this, do take it if you suspect any exposure. It’s okay to ask someone if they’ve been tested. Men are pretty bad about getting proper testing done and I know the gay community is absolutely wild and unsafe when it comes to this kind of thing. You can ask if someone’s been tested for STD’s and they’ll just say yep, but usually it’s just a UA and many people don’t like to get their blood drawn and are not aware of the proper window period for each std. I might not be very fun by doing this but if it’s my first time seeing someone I hit ‘em with the ol questionnaire and go full Virgo on em :lol: if they’re a decent person they won’t care. Stable relationships or consistency in seeing the same person are good. Also, unhealthy ways of prostitution and IV drugs are other risks. Whatever your risk is, be careful. Emergency drugs come with risks and that’s why they’re emergency drugs. I had an emergency life saving treatment and the doctors barely touched on the side effects, they don’t want to risk someone saying no out of liability. I don’t exactly regret taking it but I do still deal with the side effects and they aren’t all minor. Abortions are still dangerous, most I know who has had one has had a very bad side effect that led them to the ER. Plan B messes with your body for months, it’s better than an abortion. But, we do these things to prevent a lifetime of issues. The fact there’s an HIV preventative on the market is amazing, but think of how serious HIV has and still is. The first preventative treatment for it probably isn’t all that great. IMO getting HIV would be worse than accidental pregnancy.
