Yes, Salty, it's best taken consistently to give complete protection. I wasn't going to take it but a couple of my friends have started taking it with no ill effects either.

One friend in particular keeps catching oral gonorrhea and as she said, it just takes one person with HIV and her career is over. I think she feels she is particularly susceptible.

I don't want to offer OW as it doesn't fit into my marketing and what I enjoy, personally, so I feel more protected.

With other STDs we can get treatment but HIV is a career killer and a life sentence. I think it's wonderful it's available on the NHS now and am so grateful.

I hope it didn't have bad side effects and kidney problems

I recieived a call yesterday from the health care team at the clinic advising me again reg Prep they seem adamant I should take it after receiving a infection yet told me all my blood tests results were negative .This is fine,I'm relieved  but the slide tests showed nothing yet  got the doctor advising me to take injections and antibiotics last week this cleared up the initial problem but i was to belive I  had gonhorrea .  They are really full on with me taking medicines Prep  that I've declined already  . Does this happen each time you have had to go to clinics ?.are they on some sort of commission  getting people onto prep ! I have so few clients and never offer unprotected .

For ladies who take or have taken PrEP.

Did you have any side effects? I've heard mixed reports.
I take quite a few pills for other issues but I don't want to take something that will make me feel ill.
