&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Can Gay Men Have Safe Sex? PULSE Guide to Safer Sex for Gay Men&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Now that condoms aren&#39;t the only tool in the toolbox, what prevention method works for you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Traditionally, &amp;lsquo;safe&amp;rsquo; or &amp;lsquo;protected sex&amp;rsquo; has been equated with the use of condoms. But we are far from traditional. With the new prevention method such as&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PrEP, it is safe and it works very well to prevent HIV infection.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt; Even though condoms are cheap (actually it is free at our clinics and we have every sizes available for you), most accessible, safe and practical way to prevent sexual transmission of HIV and some other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), not everyone (including straight people,&amp;nbsp;gay men and sex workers) are using it (and we can not put it on your dick for you!!!!) with other prevention strategies such as PrEP which in Thailand is as cheap as condoms (if not cheaper when used daily) and PrEP is available offline and online. We also have emergency PEP for people who need it after the thing happened.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;The US Centre for Disease Control has changed the definition of the term &amp;lsquo;protected sex&amp;rsquo; to refer to more than sex with condoms. For example, people with HIV who take treatments and have an undetectable viral load are effectively utilising a form of protection (&amp;lsquo;treatment as prevention&amp;rsquo;), as are people who are HIV-negative taking antiretroviral drugs as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), that&#39;s why we told you safe sex can mean more than &quot;condom&quot; alone, there are other many ways to keep ourselves and our community safe. While knowing that PrEP, PEP, TasP are good strategies to prevent HIV, we still encourage you to use condoms to keep you safe from other STIs because PrEP alone can not prevent other &lt;a style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot; title=&quot;bacterial and viral STIs&quot; href=&quot;../../resource/category/2&quot;&gt;bacterial and viral STIs&lt;/a&gt; that why we use PrEP and condom together for highest protection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;And today&amp;nbsp;CDC&amp;nbsp;just updated their PrEP page to include the following sentence, &quot;Studies have shown that PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% when taken daily.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot; title=&quot;https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/prep/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2cae5lqHdGTBlu2PXoOm_h9bhLqrnrWU4i44cPEaSqKG8IHO8r6kJ5itM&quot; href=&quot;https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/prep/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2cae5lqHdGTBlu2PXoOm_h9bhLqrnrWU4i44cPEaSqKG8IHO8r6kJ5itM&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Click to read more on CDC.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;There&#39;re so many ways to prevent yourself from getting HIV, which one will you chose?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;|&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;A lot has changed since 1983. Bangs are out, beards are in, and condoms are no longer the end-all when it comes to HIV prevention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Today, the modern gay and bisexual man has a variety of options to prevent HIV, none of which should come with fear or hesitation when it comes to his sex life. Unfortunately, the pitiful sex education provided to gay youth fails to mention a practical approach to gay sex. To make up for it, here is a quick and easy guide to selecting the safe-sex method that works for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
