"You really should consult with your local sexual health clinic, I have always found them to be really nice friendly and non-judgemental. However, PrEP is a highly effective medication (usually a daily pill or a bi-monthly injection) taken by people who are HIV-negative to prevent contracting HIV. When taken as prescribed, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99%. It is widely considered the "gold standard" for HIV prevention. However, PrEP only protects against HIV. It provides no protection against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as syphilis, chlamydia, or gonorrhea. PrEP is often backed up with vaccinations and DOXY PEP. DOXY PEP involves taking a specific dose (usually 200mg) of the antibiotic doxycycline within 72 hours (ideally within 24 hours) after unprotected sex. Clinical trials have shown that Doxy-PEP can reduce the risk of contracting syphilis and chlamydia by over 70-80%, and gonorrhea by about 50%. Typically vaccinations can include: HPV (Human Papillomavirus): which helps protects against genital warts and various cancers (anal, throat). Hepatitis A & B: Both can be transmitted sexually. Vaccines provide long-term, highly effective immunity. Mpox: Depending on local outbreaks and individual risk profiles, the Mpox vaccine is often recommended for trans women and men who have sex with men. " This is a great response but just to add, sexual health clinics also offer a Gonorrhoea vaccine too (about 30% effective) which is apparently the meningitis b vaccine. I wouldn’t get complacent but between the vaccines, prep and doxy your risk profile is vastly reduced over the average person picking up a stranger on a Saturday night in a pub. Couple that with making sure your partners are also simulated treated / protected and it’s about as well managed a risk as you can make it bar using condoms | |||
