it cost 35usd per month (30 days pill) in my country, with maximum 4 months supply allowed during each purchase. Require HIV negative test prior to next 4months supply. its quite affordable for me so i took 1 pill per day despite me on very occasional hook up. plus with barrier protection off course.
It costs $5.00 for three months supply in New Zealand, but if you are in a high risk to exposure category such as drug use or 🏳️🌈 it is fully subsidised.
Keep in mind prep will not prevent you from STI’s it’s still recommended to use protection. In my opinion. Gonnohrea and chlamydia and herpes are still a thing.
Thank you for the well explained and simplified video. PrEP is indeed highly effective. However, I think it is inaccurate to say that PrEP is free of side effects! Of course, it depends on how often you take it and what kind of dosing regime you follow, but chronic use of PrEP can also cause elevated kidney or liver enzymes, and that is why it is very important to regularly check with your physician for side effects and more to test for HIV infections.
For individuals using Truvada as PrEP, how does the immune system expel HIV from the human body after it enters the body and is prevented from replicating in the cells?
The same way your immune system rids of any other invaders that enter your system. Prep just prevents hiv from making copies of itself therefore your immune system has a better chance of killing the virus completely.
@@liketzmichelle5784 another scammer. No dr is going to give you herbs for HIV or any other disease. And they definitely don't use WhatsApp. Your comment is so cringe worthy because it's obvious you are a scammer. You could be the cause of someone dying by them believing your comment. Get out of here.
Hi, everyone. I have a question. Would you know any scientific studies whether an HIV-negative person taking PrEP can be a carrier of the virus or not for a few days? While PrEP protects the user himself or herself, will it also protect other people that PrEP user is having sex with? For example, if I were taking PrEP and had bareback sex with an HIV-positive person, and I also had bareback sex a few days (say, 2 days after) with an HIV-negative person, will I be able to infect the negative person with HIV? How long will the HIV stay in my body? Will I be a carrier of HIV for a few days or not at all? Hope you can answer! Thanks!
Exactly. Like for me for instance, I’m Covid vaccinated and I, with no mask on was around a Covid positive family member with no mask on. Needless to say, I didn’t catch the virus.
If you need be out of risk and protect the next person out of risk, you need to take PrEP once a day (same time daily) for 7 days before you have sex and 7 days after you have sex (a total of 14 days).
I barebacked a pos guy while on prep, and felt like my immune system was working in my blood for a few days after. Actually felt great, energized. Or maybe it was all in my mind.
Its not expensive anymore. If you have insurance, it is free. I don't pay a thing. If you dont have insurance, still free . The Affordable Care Act brought about these changes.
