BAREBACK

Bareback is not a prevention strategy

When you choose not to wear a condom during sex this is called barebacking. The risk of contracting an STI or HIV increases to a maximum during barebacking.

However there are still ways to lower this risk. For example; being vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B protects you from contracting those viruses. Guys that bareback can additionally consider taking PrEP or PEP to prevent contracting HIV.

HOW TO GET PrEP

HOW TO GET PEP

JUST US

You are in a monogamous relationship, so you and your boyfriend don’t have other sex-partners.

VAC CINATIONS

Get yourself vaccinated against Hepatitis A & B. These are very serious infectious viruses which are easy to prevent by vaccination.

CON DOMS

By using a condom you are always in charge of your own protection without depending on anyone else.

U =U

Undetectable = Untransmittable.
If you have HIV and are on effective treatment and achieved an undetectable viral load for 6 months it cannot be passed on.

P rEP

PrEP can give you extra protection from getting HIV. It is a pill you take daily or just before / after sex and can lower the risk of getting HIV by over 90%.

P EP

PEP is a last resort HIV prevention strategy that can be used after being exposed to the virus to reduce the risk of becoming infected.
