My ID doctor prescribed me this med on the rare occasion when I have sex lol. He said take 2 pills right after sex to prevent other sexually transmitted diseases. He also said it’s good for Lyme disease. However I have no intention of having sex with a tick 🥹. Has anyone used this before? My doctor says it’s good for syphilis which he says is out of control in the United States

Should A Doctor Be Able To Treat Children (either With PrEP, PEP, Or Continual Care) For HIV, Without A Parent's Consent?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Teens have a hard time talking about sex. Or maybe parents have a hard time talking to their teens about sex. It could also be a combination of both. If your child wanted to start on PrEP, or found out their sexual partner might have HIV, or maybe they just got checked out and found they were positive, what are your thoughts on your child getting medical attention without your consent?

Should PrEP Be Encouraged More For Straight Women?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I’m noticing so many young women joining us here from around the world. While I welcome them, I’m sad that their infection wasn’t avoided. I see advertisements constantly encouraging HIV negative gay men to go on PrEP. I know gay men whose doctors encouraged PrEP. Perhaps I’m just missing it, but I don’t see the same push for sexually active women.
