Slip-ups, mistakes and condom breaks
Condoms sometimes break or slip off when we are fucking. And some of us might fuck without a condom, even though we didn’t intend to and afterwards we wish we hadn’t.
An HIV negative guy who is exposed to HIV can take HIV medications to try to stay uninfected. This medical treatment is called PEP – short for “post-exposure prophylaxis.” Scientists believe that PEP reduces the risk that someone will become HIV positive after being exposed to HIV.
A doctor must prescribe PEP. Go to a hospital emergency department. But doctors and other staff at medical clinics and emergency rooms may not know about PEP. Or they may not have a clear policy on who can get PEP. If a guy has problems getting PEP he should insist on seeing an infectious disease specialist doctor.
If you’re on HIV medications, you may think it is a good idea to give the guy some of your medications. That’s not recommended. Your HIV medications may not be an effective PEP treatment. And it may leave you short on medications later on.
