Std Prevention - Tumblr Posts

Not raw. I always wear a condom when I post on tumblr dot com

Apparently I'm one of the few people who gets really negative side effects from PrEP.

Ever since I started taking it, I've been extremely nauseous pretty much every day, I've had a lot of really negative stomach symptoms, and I've had a pretty much constant migraine.

I figured that these were just temporary side effects but it's been like a week and it just keeps getting worse. The only new medication I've started during this time was the truvada, since my birth control was on back order and I've been on testosterone for a lot longer than I've been on truvada, so it's the most likely culprit.

I really don't want to stop taking it, because I am a trans man who mostly dates gay and bisexual men and I am polyamorous so I date outside of my relationship, but I don't know if I can live my normal life just constantly being sick like I have the flu.

I understand that prep is a really good medication for people to be on but, unfortunately, it seems like it can have side effects that just don't make it worth it, or at least don't make it worth it to me as someone who is already extremely careful about STD prevention.

It really sucks because I want to be on this medication for my own safety just to be sure, because you never know, dating sites are fucked up, but unfortunately I don't think I can keep taking it.

Bummer.
