Today we are talking about PrEP which is a drug you take, to prep in some ways to preventively not get HIV. Super fascinating! We know lots of people who are on it, so we wanted to talk about the science and the history AND if it’s safe.

23:03 is where they talk about the side effects

Thank you very much

Love the podcast! I’ve been watching your videos since a kid and I’m sure it’s a big reason why science has always been my favorite subject! You guys make science, learning and education FUN!!

Well done, you two. I was impressed by your knowledge of the issue.

@loganwashere811 2 года назад

idk if it’s available in canada but the fda approved an injectable form of prep in december 2021 but i haven’t researched much about it since, so if your interested in prep but not good at remembering taking pills then that’s an option on the horizon. loved the episode ❤️

I always hear mitch talk about bbcan and so i finally decided to watch the season with him in it. I'm amazed at how strategic he was! that's so impressive.

That was very helpful - especially the discussion about risk analysis.

@MrSurfingdreamer 5 месяцев назад

AWESOME JOB! I'm glad you talked about the facts that there are long-term effects of PREP and condoms are still totally necessary for protection against the many other STD/STIs.

@GaryBearTexanUSA 6 месяцев назад

You guys have done a conscientious service for us MSM. I was lucky enough to live through the AIDS epidemic that ravaged so many of my friends and fellow Gay brothers without any meaningful treatments. It's gratifying to see two young men interested in the prevention and spread of HIV. ❤ Thanks 😊

@colinf2316 2 года назад

It's also important to keep in mind that HIV doesn't always respond to our treatments. My SIL works at NIH, specifically with HIV patients and she still loses patients due to HIV. My friend takes PReP and his doc orders blood tests every 3 months for the reasons you mentioned in the video.

@fToo Год назад

Thanks for this. I've chosen not to be on Prep for similar reasons. However we do need to recognise that Prep has been phenomenal in reducing the number of new HIV cases in places where it is widely available. Here in the UK the health authorities are even aiming for zero new HIV cases by 2030.

@xavierheadbang 11 месяцев назад

I can't think of any men who are sexually active that wear a condom during oral sex, so if there's always a risk for all other STIs I'd prefer to be on prep anyways 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼

@jjaredzz 2 года назад

This was a really good episode. I was on PREP for a while when I was having more sex, it definitely created more peace of mind with HIV. I was scared of the risk of how hard it is on your kidney… and how bloated it made me the first couple of months. Also the way you all talked about it’s affects on other STI rates… I almost feel like I was more conscious on safer sex when not on PREP then when I was.. and I think a lot of other folks do to.

@jjaredzz 2 года назад

Also similarly as you talked about kidney functions.. in the US you have to get blood work every 3 months to make sure you’re still HIV negative and kidney function is okay.

@evertonclayton32 Год назад

Have you stopped prep ?

@Pippinking 6 месяцев назад

Here in the UK we are required to take a kidney function test before taking PREP. This reduces the risk of kidney damage to negligible risk.

@BrandonCCB Год назад

Even having 100% of my intercourses wearing a condom, I decided to get on PrEP. I had recently two accidents during sex and I had to go on PEP, wich gave me terrible side effects, so I decided to take continuously PreP so to avoid any future usage of PEP, which in terms of side effects for me was horrible, not to say the fear of contracting HIV after the exposure. Some guys do want to have unprotected sex claiming they are on PreP. All you have to do is say no. No one is forced to have a bareback boys.

@sb8882 3 месяца назад

@ftunnmnbar6268 12 дней назад

@BrandonCCB 11 дней назад

@@ftunnmnbar6268 no medicine after PEP was over. I just had HIV test to make sure I was not positive on the virus, and I was not. Been taking PreP consistently for one year now. No side effects. I have blood tests every 4 months to make sure my body is coping with the medication.

@AlisaScholl 2 года назад

The thing I heard a lot about condoms is, they don't fit very well. The last two partners I had, said they had bad experiences with condoms, because they were to tite. The guys didn't even know, there were different sized condoms

@cmy5774 2 месяца назад

Ive been taking PrEP for 2 years now daily. Had tons of hookups, mostly risky sexual activity and bareback anal sex and had been in a relationship with an HIV+ guy but he is U=U (which he couldnt transmit the virus even if im not on prep). Went well okay with me and Im doing good now. I regulary get tested every 3mos for all STIs and have my kidney function test every year. I recommend sexually active people to take PrEP as a form of protection. 😊

@aaronwright7266 2 месяца назад

I'm always amused by people freaking out about STIs with anal sex yet never use condoms for oral sex. Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, etc., are all transmitted orally too.

@flyingchong 2 года назад

Episode ideas: -nuclear energy. The clean energy movement needs to stop demonizing it. -racism and xenophobia among animal lovers. It sounds very specific, but there’s this culture of people in developed countries demonizing people in countries they’ve never been to and exclaiming “how dare you kill this elephant?!… that’s been eating your hard-grown crops”. -related to prior - trophy hunting’s role in conservation. The animal activists make this such a black and white issue and it’s not.

@user-hk7yr8mn2j Месяц назад

You need to be on prep 4 to 7 times a week . The most protection comes from taking it after 7 days plus it easier if you take it everyday . If you miss one or two days you’ll be fine that’s why you should take it everyday . If taking the pills everyday too much they do have the shot which is every 3 months . I honestly think everyone gay or straight should take it .

@sb8882 4 месяца назад

Can someone tell me its ok to take prep for 28 days?...im really worried...and i dont want to be infected after exposure..pls can someone share some advice...

@AJP1613 Месяц назад

If on Prep, its at its highest protective rate 7 days for anal sex, and 21 days for vaginal sex.

@RenzoVodka 7 месяцев назад

Okay so why isn't anyone talking about the risk oral sex poses most of the time, especially considering NO ONE likes to wear a condom to either give or receive oral sex? It's great we have PrEP and condoms available but let's not lie and pretend unprotected oral sex is not an extremely, excessively common practice and that we do get sick both bacterially and virally from it.

@Pippinking 6 месяцев назад

Because the risk of HIV infection through oral sex is 0.04%.

Sorry but what an inane comment ! Condoms don't protect against airborn diseases either. Come back when you figure out I how to have sex without breathing or any skin-to-skin contact.

@OldManFishy Месяц назад

I hate the phrase "safe sex" because ALL SEX comes with risk. I prefer "safer sex". If you are informed of the risk and prevention, you and your consensual partner(s) have the right to make a decision in what kind of sex you choose to engage in.
