Robin (32) had to explain to his family doctor what PrEP is

'My doctor didn't have a clue what I was talking about.'

Robin never wanted to have sex without a condom, but from a certain moment he just couldn't keep it up at all times anymore. Now that he uses PrEP, he lost his fear of HIV. Before his family doctor prescribed the medication, he had to explain to him what PrEP is.

Editor’s note

​Man to Man interviewed men with a wide variety of experiences and reasons to use PrEP. Their personal stories about sex and health do not necessarily reflect Man to Man’s recommendations. PrEP is a very effective way to protect yourself against HIV. For other STIs, condoms are the best available protection.
