wowwww..... It's been a week. I'm proud of myself. I made it through my first seven days on PrEP. I did as I now routinely do. Got some lunch, took my pill and kept it going. I will admit after the pill I felt a tad gaseous but otherwise I was good. So I've been getting numerous questions on how it feels taking the pill. Being honest it isn't a big change in my life. Other then I know I must eat before it or I'll get sick.. All those scary side effects they say you may get. Don't believe the hype it's not that bad.. But I guess that's speaking on my behalf.. It really hasn't effected me in a bad way.
I wish I could see the anatomy of my body to see what has changed and how this will protect me from HIV. But I believe the clinical trials. I'm also happy to know I'll be attending a PrEP summit in DC in September. So it'll further expand my knowledge on PrEP as well if times come for it I can share my story. I wish there was something like this a long time ago so many people who are currently his positive wouldn't have even been exposed. But that's not the case.
But now I ask myself why aren't more people on PrEP? Do they think it's expensive? Do they even know about it? Are they scared of the side effects? What's really up? I can say I was scared to get on it, and I talked big shut bout how I was going to get on it and never did till seven days ago. I was worried about the price too, but if you have insurance, it will pay for it and then you can get the drug assistance program through Gilead which will pay your co pays, so you'll get this expensive drug for free. As I said no real serious side effects... so what's stopping you from trying it.. What do you have to lose.
I've found a solution that works for me, now you need to find your solution.goodnight everyone
