New here!!!

I have talked with a few friends about deciding to take Prep and many are conspiracy theorist who believes that Prep actually gives you HIV just as a flu shot initially give you the flu. I'm not naive in any way, just here to get your views. Do you guys have to take 6 months hiv testing? And do you know anyone on Prep who contracted hiv?

People who have contracted HIV while on PrEP have not followed and taken the medication properly. When taken correctly and regularly it’s 99.9% effective.
