At what point
in your relationship would you decide that yes, it’s now the right time to go
bareback with your boyfriend? And what if it’s a hookup, would you have raw sex
with him?
We all know that having sex without condom is risky, as not wearing it means you
increase your risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) including
HIV. Then, of course, there’s the stress that comes with it, worrying endlessly
whether or not you contracted an illness from your partner.
They say that
the best way to go about this is to “assume everyone is positive and fuck
accordingly.” There’s also PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a medicine that is
highly effective for preventing HIV, according to CDC, when taken as prescribed
that is. Everything you need to know about PrEP, you can read here, but
please bear in mind that it’s only effective when it comes to preventing HIV
and not when it comes to other kinds of STIs.
If you’re in a
monogamous relationship on the other hand—it means that both of you are not
having sex with other people—the best way to go about this is to communicate.
Be upfront and talk candidly: when was the last time the two of you had
unprotected sex with other people? Of course, both of you should get tested for
STIs as well, not just HIV, and if you or your partner is unwilling to do so
regularly then you should just continue using condoms.
What about
you, guys, what’s your take on this?
