Thoughts on Prep via injection

[ICTJOCK]

So I switched over to the 6 month  prep  "injection" in March after my new insurance provider wouldn't pay for "Descovy" this year.   My doctor suggested the 6 month injection (as my provider  WOULD pay the cost of getting that,   go figure).   Getting the prep injection isn't alot of fun.  2 injections kind of at the side of your lower stomach or abdomen area and it hurt for a week.    I've been fine since,  but my next round is in about a week.   Just curious if there are others here who get the injection and thoughts on your experience.    I asked my doctor if many in the clinic get prep this way and she said I was the 3rd patient.    Interesting.

You might be receiving what is called Lenacapavir- something designed to be injected every 6 months.

I receive Apretude injections, which as far as I know, anre  administered near the buttocks area every two months. I have only received it twice up until this point.
 

Each time, I get nausea and diarrhea that lasts a day post injection, as well as soreness and muscular pain around the site of injection for around a week.
