006. "Let's Talk About PrEP, Baby!"
What if there were a magic pill you could take to prevent you from contracting HIV? While this may have been merely a question in the late 90s, it is now a reality for over 350,000* people worldwide, the majority of whom are in the US. While we aim to tell fun stories (and continue to do so in this episode!), we also want to help our listeners when it comes to personal and interpersonal wellness, including their sexual well-being.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today we share a fun and highly informative conversation with Matt Mikaelian, LMSW and a manager of HIV prevention services for an established NY-based community healthcare provider. We cover everything from PrEP "On Demand" to PEP as "Plan B", from gay cruises to figuring out how to best approach your first group sex environment! (Boundaries, anyone?).
In addition, we celebrate SEX POSITIVITY, we talk about the meaning of UNDETECTABLE (U=U), how to find a GAY FRIENDLY DOCTOR and we work through the misinformation and the fallacies surrounding PrEP usage in the LBGTQI community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, we end our chat with a game: Marry-F*ck-Kill, Drag Race Edition!
