Hey
Do you want to be in the know about how to have sex without guilt or stress?
First of all, remember that you’re free to choose your sexual partners. Forget about what others think.
Next, remove all anxieties about STIs, that is sexually-transmitted infections. Condoms are the number one protection against STIs, including HIV. Put one on for a safe ride and sleep easy afterwards.
But anyone can get carried away or forgetful. Who knows when the moment will strike? And, if someone refuses to use a condom, be extra careful. They surely didn't use one with their previous partner either.
There are risks in life worth taking. Like asking that guy on a date, when you’re pretty sure he’ll say no. But sex without protection from HIV? It just doesn’t make sense.
If you’re often in hot situations without a condom, check out a drug called PrEP. It prevents HIV even if it enters your bloodstream. It won't protect against other STIs, but at least you won't have to stress about HIV.
Now, for those who are HIV positive or have a positive partner, learn this formula: U Equals U, meaning Undetectable Equals Untransmittable. When you consistently take your ARV medication, the virus becomes so minimal that you can't pass it on. Just remember, the positive partner must follow their medication regimen exactly and get a viral load test to check it's working.
When you stop feeling anxious about who you sleep with and you’ve made sure you’ve protected yourself, you can enjoy, stress-free sex. So be in the know and you can go with the flow.
