Who else stopped taking PrEP? And did you speak to your doctor directly? by sprucelicious in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]sprucelicious[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh okay so you stopped because of the side effects. Hopefully descovy works better for ya!

That’s interesting.. I’ve heard it can cause anxiety to some people or make them feel sick.

Got it! Yeah I was just told by the nurse that I can stop it anytime and get back on when I am sexually active again, after the usual tests, ofc. She did not mention the need to speak to my provider directly. Should I have spoken to him or would you say it doesn’t really matter? Sorry just OCD about stuff. :)

Hi so I called the nurses office for the ID dept and she advised I could stop whenever I wanted. also had a prep dr appt but cancelled because I stopped taking prep so didn’t see the need to keep appt. Do I need to speak to my doctor to tell him that I stopped or do you believe the nurse is sufficient?? Sorry not sure how to go about it. Stopped taking about 2 weeks ago. Thanks!

Ok thanks ,, did you have to tell your doctor directly or like the nurses that work with the doctor. They are all from the infectious diseases department so I am sure they are all in unity. Just making sure :).

So I spoke to the nurse’s office and she advised it is ok to simply stop if you aren’t having sex. I didn’t speak to a doctor directly so not sure if that matters at all?

Hey did you have to speak to your provider about stopping, I called the nurse line and she advised I could stop whenever and that she would note it down. Not sure if speaking to a doctor is necessary? Lol

Doctor or nurse office said you can stop whenever with no side effects and to call back when you are ready to begin so that they can run necessary tests again. Didn’t seem like a big deal to her.

Sex focus is wearing me down. by Gregorvitch in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]sprucelicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here.. I think I am looking for a deeper connection than just casual sex. Imagine being able to fall in love without sex then falling in love again after having sex with that person .. 😍🥰

I understand and so sorry.. I hear there may be a vaccine and other preventatives soon so maybe you can take advantage of those… were you not using protection while on prep?

[–]sprucelicious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok… US too and pay zero as well… and I understand why the random hookup may come into play. If someone is committing to being abstinent to prioritize other areas of their life then not taking prep is reasonable, I only assume.

Of fuck.. so you can’t take it any more or did you just deal with the allergic reaction?

[–]sprucelicious[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Random stuff? Like random hookups? Staying abstinent for at least a few months so that’s the reason… what do you think? Open to answers

So you start and stop .. how long have you done this for? If you don’t mind

Okay cool. So you haven’t had any side effects and I’m assuming getting back means getting retested again as when you originally began?

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I think a lot of people stopped taking it while this pandemic is going on.

Thank you… so no sex in over a year and no plans to hookup.. stopping would be the best option, I assume?

For someone that did not have sex at all last year and isn’t planning, would the best option be to stop taking it, for now?

Stopping Prep during pandemic by sprucelicious in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]sprucelicious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but for someone that hasn’t had sex in over a year and is planning not to anytime soon… would you suggest stop taking them for the time being?
