Undetectable for four years on tablets. Clinic mentioned injectable treatment every two months. Tempted, but nervous about giving up something that works.
Someone mentioned doxyPEP to me and I had never heard of it. From what I can work out it is an antibiotic you take after sex…
Treated for chlamydia two weeks ago. A friend says get retested straight away to check it worked, the clinic told me to come back in three…
About to start treatment and I would rather know the real number now than be blindsided later. Everything I read says recurrence is common without saying…
Been offered PrEP and told there is a daily option and an on demand option. Not sure how to think about the choice.
Diagnosed with genital warts last month and I have gone down a very bad internet hole about HPV and cancer. Nobody at the appointment mentioned cancer…
Had the injection on Tuesday. Partner is being treated Friday. Working out when we can stop avoiding each other.
Third screen, same type detected each time, cells still normal. They have used the word persistent and I do not know how alarmed to be.
I have been given a diagnosis and the clinic asked how far back my partners go. I have two people from the last few months. One…
The lotion is messy and I have a lot of hair. Is there an oral option?
Assumed removing them would make me less contagious, then read something suggesting treatment is cosmetic. Which is it?
Diagnosed and asked how far back my partners go. I gave the recent ones and then realised I did not know what period they actually needed.
Had several screens over the years and never been tested for this. Was that an omission?
Curious how much this varies. The list I was given seems shorter than what people describe in other countries.
Vaccination was offered at school and my husband thinks it is only relevant for girls.
I shave regularly and new ones keep appearing in a line along where the razor goes. That cannot be a coincidence.
Reading around, the answer seems to be somewhere between quite a lot and not much, depending on who wrote the page.
Three weekly injections, I missed the middle one and went a week late. Does the course still count?
I have a bottle in the cupboard from when the children had head lice. Can I use that?
Viral load came back as a small number after two years of undetectable. Told it is probably a blip. Probably is doing a lot of work…
Three rounds of treatment, clear for about a month, and now two new ones. I am losing patience with the whole process.
Living with HIV. HPV vaccination was mentioned in passing at a clinic appointment. I am in my thirties and assumed I was past it.
Genuinely unsure where the line is. Does everything count, or only certain things? I do not want to waste an appointment and I do not want…
Can buy something today or wait a week for an appointment. Is the shop version inferior?
Everyone here seems to have had one. I was treated and sent away with nothing except a retest date months later. Is my clinic cutting corners?
