I’ll never forget PrEP initially being rejected among the gays because it was seen as the slut pill.
Now, basically everyone is taking it and transmission amongst gay men who don’t do intravenous drugs is so low. I’ve heard, but never checked, that straights have higher infection rates now.
I think it's totally insane that more people don't know about PrEP. The fact that we have a prophylactic medication to prevent HIV is one of the greatest medical achievements of my lifetime.
It's hard to explain just how hopeless the fight against AIDS felt in the 80s and 90s.
