Quincy_7 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I stick to condoms over prep because I don't like the idea of a daily pill and nowadays I only have sex a couple of times a year anyway. HIV research is something I have a bit of a morbid interest in. There's one company working on a single shot CRISPR cure. They've tested on small animals and primates by infecting the animals with HIV and then tried their therapy and the animals were completely cured. They've now received approval from the FDA to proceed with human trials. Assuming they're successful, we could be looking at an actual cure within 5-10 years. If HIV is just another STI like chlamidya or syphillis then is there still a reason for gay men to use condoms at that point? I only use condoms because of HIV. I don't really care if I get any other STI because they're all curable (herpes excepted, of course).

xyz48B Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 My PCP told me even though I’m on PrEP I should still be using condoms with whoever I’m sexually active because you can still get other diseases. So there’s that. + keroscenefire, + Lucky, SamSpring and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedanNYC Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Nope, I'm not ditching condoms. STDs are largely curable, but I'm not looking to end up casually gobbling antibiotics like they're candy. + Vegas_Millennial, SamSpring, + FrankR and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrod_Uncut Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I’m skeptical. Part of me feels like there isn’t really a push for a “cure “ because so much revolves around HIV care and therapy. And how do we know that “cure” is not just another “undetectable” situation? I’d wear condoms for the simple fact some guys just don’t take care. I recall one client had an ENORMOUS amount and size of HPV cancer lumps around his ass. I wouldn’t even fuck him WITH a condom. I used my dildo, and he wasn’t properly cleaned out. I had to quit. He did admit that he was going in for cancer treatment for it, but to have 1 more last fuck prior I think should have stuck with oral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
