    Everybody should get on PrEP. It’s cheap, it’s proven, you don’t have to trust your partners. If you’re having casual sex, you should be on PrEP.

      You don’t just casually take any number of medications just in case you might get in touch with something. How many pills would we have to take? 100 daily?

        If your sexually active with casual partners, who also have casual partners, PrEP could be a sensible risk avoidance for you.

        Also consider HPV vaccine, condom use, etc…

        Everything is dependent on risk profile
