Not sure if sales is targeted at them but they do form the majority of cases even though homosexual sex is probably a tiny fraction of sexual intercourse nationwide.



"Sexual intercourse remains the main mode of HIV transmission, accounting for 94.3% (197 out of 209) of the cases. Heterosexual transmission accounted for 31.6% (66 out of 209) of all cases, while 62.7% of the cases (131 out of 209) occurred in men who have sex with men, including 5.7% (12 out of 209) who are bisexual men.

Again, she is stressing the following: See a doctor to do a blood panel to determine a baseline for hepatic (liver) and renal (kidney) function and assessment to decide which regime, if any, of PrEP is suitable before self administering PrEP. Also regularly check blood panels to ensure no kidney or liver issues.

It's a minor inconvenience for long term peace of mind. Also, she wants to clearly stress, PrEP is only effective for HIV, not other STDs because some people think it's effective for everything... It isn’t. Use a condom if there is any sex, even oral if your partner has lesions or sores on the lips or around the mouth.

I see, thanks for sharing.

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) falls into 2 protocols. Either "Daily PrEP" or on demand PrEP, medically known as "Event Based Dosing". Both methods have pros and cons.

For daily PrEP the dosing guideline for hetrosexual (guy/girl) sex is:

• Take 1 tablet every day, at the same time each day. Wait 7 days after you start taking it before you have sex.

• If you want to start taking daily PrEP but might have sex within the first 7 days, take 2 tablets at least 2 hours before you have sex. Then continue to take 1 tablet each day.

Do not to miss your dose but if that does happen, you must have taken at least 6 daily doses in the past week. to be covered. Also, If you have had vaginal/frontal sex, take your daily dose for 7 more days after the last time you had sex.

For gay, bi, transgender, or have medical conditions where you are taking daily medications, speak to your own doctor before starting.


For on demand PrEP she wants to make clear this is only recommended for anal sex and NOT vaginal sex. The dosing guideline for this is:

• take 2 tablets between 2 and 24 hours before having anal sex
• take 1 tablet 24 hours later
• take 1 tablet 24 hours after that
• If you're continuing to have sex over a period of time, carry on taking 1 pill every 24 hours until you have not had sex for 2 days.

She strongly recommends anyone thinking of buying PrEP meds in JB or Thailand to speak your or a doctor first. Make sure the doctor knows about PrEP by asking them. You may need to let them give you your first course and check your blood panel to rule out any underlying conditions that would make taking PrEP unsuitable for you. Then you can safely buy the meds in JB or Thailand.

This is not individual medical advice but general information for anyone considering PrEP.

Have a good Sunday everyone!

I am having PEP at the moment when doctor say it is low risk of it as my healing wound exposes to stranger's blood.

Previously i had first PEP due to the condom slip off when i had sex with a girl. Both of us had check up after that and 100% free from STD/HIV. But, i started to have PEP before the report out.

Hi Hazenut... SO says she cannot comment on risk level without knowing details but if you have a wound that is still open, healing or doesn’t have a scab covering it, it can potentially be an introduction point for infection so if the examining doctor that assessed you prescribed PEP, you should be ok.

She also says there's generally no limit to the number of times you can be on PEP as long as there's a break between courses, especially if blood panel shows an abnormality. She says good for you that you took it seriously enough to get it checked properly. It's a small inconvenience for long term peace of mind.
