Are so called Prep Users being Honest.

I have heard in many cases that Prep can cost up to $1000 monthly. I also read that many health care plans do not allow Prep as an admissible authorized drug that they cover. In Canada especially, this is a major concern. Often I meet people who claim that they are on Prep and this is a standard response many use when wanting to practice unsafe sex. Has anyone else experienced this and without asking them to show you the drug, what do you do?

That is a risk that you are taking. I know that unsafe sex with an unknown partner can lead to a new development of another strain of HIV if your infected. I don't know if that helped you or not, but your going to have to be the stronger person and tell the to put on a condom to protect you and them.

And I'm not sure on the cost of prep...I know that Triumeq cost $3 thousand a month...but that is government funded so I don't pay for it cause I'd be in debt and getting worst than I was 5 months ago.

I know of 2 guys that are poz and claiming they're on prep.

Locally if you're uninsured earning <50k a year you may qualify to receive the drug at little to no cost.
