alexander: nova-cayne: nova-cayne: If you are having regular sex and aren’t on truvada yet… why? I’ve had people tell me that they “don’t have insurance right now” or “it’s too expensive” The company that makes truvada (Gilead) offers a copay card making the medication literally FREE to you. And furthermore my prescribing doctor said he would do anything to help get this medication to me at little to no cost. If you google “Gilead Copay Card” it will bring you to a page where you enroll- for free- and then you can save the image of the card till the physical one comes in the mail. Present it to your pharmacy and your script is literally FREE. THERE IS NO REASON TO NOT GET ON PrEP!!! And also side note being on PrEP doesn’t mean you should go out and get bred by every guy you meet. You should still practice safe sex because HIV isn’t the only STD out there. Don’t be gross. Wear a condom and get that truvada bitch https://www.gileadadvancingaccess.com/financial-support/gilead-copay-card btw @ people saying truvada is untested or has unknown side effects, PrEP/PEP (what truvada is) has existed for almost 30+ years in hospitals for nurses (src: my mom worked as a nurse for 30 years in the uphs) working in HIV wards that would get exposure via accidental needle sticks, there is minimal side effects that your doctor will go over with you. (the only reason we hear about these side effects is that the FDA is afraid to let gays be healthy and make their own decisions! it wasn’t until last year that we were allowed to donate BLOOD, and even then with restrictions!) everyone who says there is x y and z reason to not support this drug is homophobic and just regurgitating reagan republican propaganda also make sure that when u go on it, you stay on it u dont just take it when you have sex, it takes 2 weeks to take full effect so simply “taking it before fucking” won’t do you or your partner any good -- source link
