      I have access to Truvada — #PrEP, a pill that dramatically reduces the risk of HIV transmission — through my health insurance, and I am grateful to have that, and the regular STI testing that my health care provider does as part of it, available to me.pic.twitter.com/OQ6HGHMwHi

      Because Truvada is such an expensive drug, though, many do not have access to it. Still others lack health care providers with the knowledge or supportive practice to recommend it. (Read more about the costs and an effort to fight them: https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/05/act-up-is-challenging-gilead-to-make-truvada-more-accessible.html …)

      I’m talking about my use of PrEP to encourage openness about sexual health — and also to encourage people to learn about PrEP if you’re a sexually active queer person or otherwise at heightened risk for HIV. (This education is needed; read this: https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/one-third-of-gay-men-havent-heard-of-a-drug-that-helps?utm_term=.hdNqNp6A04#.hdNqNp6A04 …)

          Good for you, and congrats on the solid insurance. I heard about this on NPR a few months ago. Serious question: what was your biggest motivation? Was it more a "protect me from something I fear" or a "liberate me to enjoy myself more?" No judgement, just curious.

          Some part of those concepts — though I’m not sure I’d use the word “fear” — but primarily based on a feeling that it was a step I could take to be responsible for my health. So, I asked my doctor and I took the step.

          Well that certainly seems like a healthy way to approach it. Do you think doctors should be the ones prompting the issue? My doctor knows I travel a lot for work and is constantly badgering me about whether or not I'm at risk for Hepatitis (and my wife is his patient as well).

          Forgive my ignorance- does being queer heighten one’s risk of contracting hiv? That’s something that has always confused me.

          Without going into too much detail, anal penitrative intercourse has the highest rate of transmission of HIV from sexual means.

          And then this is compounded by social factors that mean folsk often aren't aware of their status (stigma, lack of testing in certain communities, etc.)

          I had to switch doctors because my primary physician had never heard of Truvada. I sent her links to information as well as clinics and groups offering it and explained it.

          It should have no more stigma than getting the HPV or shingles vaccine or a tetanus shot. Thank you for speaking out.
