In a joint statement, Public Health England (PHE) and the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) have said they won’t endorse the use of Doxycycline PEP for STIs. This, they say, is because any potential benefits will be outweighed by the considerable potential for antibiotic resistance to develop in STIs and other bacteria. PEP… Read More »
All through history gay people have been portrayed as hopeless, limp wristed queens, unable to cope with life, to be laughed at, pitied or more sinisterly seen as mentally ill. Thankfully homosexuality was no longer seen as a mental illness in the latter half of the 20th Century however the notion doesn’t go away for… Read More »
The whole campaign for PrEP has been a complete and utter disaster. Ill thought out and implementation across America and Canada has been sold as taking a pill, abandoning condoms or carrying on barebacking without a care in the world. All other STIs are solvable. They really opened a Pandora’s box. The issue is the… Read More »
As we wrote in an article earlier today, in the 1970s, 80s and early 90s, being a gay man was all about accepting and celebrating the fact that you were different. We were “glad to be gay.” It wasn’t about trying to live the same lifestyle as “straights.” Craving that would have been seen as… Read More »
PrEP needs to be free for everyone
If you are a barebacking cumslut take it easy on PrEP! No slut shaming no judgement here just a word of caution! PrEP won’t save you!

We have now entered a phase where barebacking is promoted, glorified and normalised within the gay community. Felching and fisting are also promoted as “normal”. They are not. Do not judge!… Read More »
PrEP/bareback enthusiasts would have you believe that unprotected “condomless” sex is somehow a liberating experience where you can experience “intimacy” and “pleasure” with multiple gay men. In fact it is completely the opposite. PrEP is for the self harming depressed bugchaser who is suffering from an obsessive compulsive disorder in a cycle of self destructive… Read More »
For 35 years it has never been a good idea to believe a gay man who tells you “I don’t have HIV.” Instead the message has been to take personal responsibility for protecting yourself. Primarily by using a condom. Condoms have been highly effective at preventing HIV infection and were so even in the days… Read More »
“Is PrEP causing a change of behaviour or responding to it? Likely doing both” It’s what these Prepster want to normalise, validate and glorify: unprotected “condomless” sex, to create a bareback gay community. Many of these Prep/bareback enthusiasts are HIV positive men who hated using condoms and are suffering mental health issues. Highly traumatised gay… Read More »
