    I say just look out for #1. I'm not putting myself at risk for the next mofo. If condoms and Prep are what it takes, then so be it.

    Because they are adults and can make their own choices on who they have sex with and what types of sex they are having.

    I think people have the right to do what they want as long as they are not hurting others. I am responsible for my own choices when it comes to the risk I take when I decide to get intimate with another man. They tell you when you get the RX that pRep is not a panacea for HIV nor does it prevent anything else. You don't have to keep telling people that every time they get the Rx filled. People still make these choices to go without condoms, which are not 100 percent themselves. Ideally, people would use both means but clearly, Tumblr and PornHub amateur porn is telling us something different.

    I also feel that bathhouses and 'dirty book stores' serve their purposes as well. The 70s-80s was still in that era where 'it's not sex because it's with another man' was the train of thought for DL/Bi men. That age of denial is gone. However, I do think that people should have the access they want to explore be that at a sex club, bathhouse, or sex party. Everyone is not going to get your kink.

    Even single gay men who have nothing to hide or may still be closeted and have everything to hide can go to those places and get their rocks off. They still chose what they do or don't there and can't blame anyone for any STI they pickup if they didn't t ake the action they needed to or just 'trusted the wrong person'. Most of us have had slip ups no matter how much we may say 'I use condoms 100 percent of the time'. Humans make mistakes and don't always follow their own rules. Even on prep, I may forget to take a pill one or two days out of the month.

    Since prep isn't 100 percent, this just proves how it is not. There's really nothing to see here. Millions of people are having sex daily. Factoring that into account, the number is infections people developed while on prep is still low.

    Also...
    The guy was on a rare form of HIV and wasn't taking his meds. This would have happened even if the guy wasn't taking prep. It's just one of those things. Unfortunately, this man did everything he could have to prevent acquiring HIV but that wasn't enough to prevent his infection. If I was this man, I'd be beyond pissed off that the positive man wasn't taking better care of protecting other people. He put this man at even greater risk than he bargained for.

    However... it was his risk and choice to take. The sky isn't falling.
