Do I Have HIV? / Re: Help

Thank you for the additional information regarding your ex's past test results, all it means is she didn't have HIV six weeks or three months before testing, depending on the labs used, so it's meaningless.

I'll mention the same thing I always do when someone says they are in a relationship;

If you engage in condomless sex with your partner, you are obviously at risk of acquiring HIV. In relationships, condomless sex is often based on trust or past test results; however, this does not prevent HIV, so if condomless sex does occur, you should consider testing more frequently.

Interesting, but this kind of contradicts the whole “widespread use of antibiotics unnecessarily will create resistance” argument.

It seems in Australia that concern was recently expressed.

The second objection was to do with antimicrobial resistance which is, BREACH says, “a huge concern in STI and other bacteria”, with “some studies showing an increase in antimicrobial resistance.”

The conclude: “Considering that the number needed to treat to avoid a symptomatic infection with gonorrhoea or chlamydia is probably very high, the considerable potential to select resistance in STIs and other bacterial species and the possibility of disrupting the microbiome, it is considered that the potential individual benefits of doxyPEP are outweighed by the risks in men who have sex with men.”

They recommend that, if doxyPEP is to be prescribed, is should only be done as part of a research study.
