PrEP may signal the end of HIV/AIDS.
From the article:
Thanks to PrEP, “we have an unprecedented opportunity to fully live life politically, socially, and sexually empowered” for the first time ever, said Damon L. Jacobs, founder of the highly active Facebook group PrEP Facts: Rethinking HIV Prevention and Sex. Offline, Jacobs is a licensed psychotherapist and a PrEP user himself. He believes that PrEP is moving us into a post-fear moment in which gay men can focus on broader issues, such as general mental health and well-being.
For the first time in 30 years, Jacobs said, gay men have a chance to break the association between sex and death that was created by the AIDS crisis. He hopes this comes with a reduction in stress. Without this fear and pain, “you open up the floodgates for opportunities for people to relate and have intimate connections,” he said.
Assess your sexual behaviors and talk to your healthcare provider about if PrEP is something you should consider.
