PrEP

Developed as a medication to treat HIV, PrEP has revolutionized the way gay men think about sex since it was approved for HIV prevention. Studies have found the pill to be nearly 100% effective at preventing infection if taken daily, easing a fear that a generation of gay men have struggled with. No matter whether you think Truvada will promote sexual openness or foster an attitude of irresponsibility, it’s clear that this little blue pill is one of the biggest developments in the fight against HIV in a decade.
