Tops most of the time with anal sex.
Sometimes bottoms.
But mostly enjoys oral sex and foreplay.
We discussed PrEP. Its effectiveness. Possible side effects. Pros and cons. Insurance coverage.
Many would ask "Why give this man PrEP? He's not 'high risk'."

The answer is simple.
PrEP is a #sexualhealth program. It's not simply for those whom medical providers deem to be "high risk."
He gets to choose the combination of #HIV prevention methods that are best for his sexual health.
If he feels he needs it, I trust him.
