Was there anything he said that might be concerning before he disappeared? Do you have any other means of contact with him?

Hope he’s okay. Might have just been caught up with something in his personal life that is tying up his time.

We talk a lot on what’s app, normally every few days. It just says 9th July as the last access and same on Facebook messenger, he was feeling a little down, but it’s very out of character.

Have you had any improvements in sexual sides, @lakehouse? Any improved sensitivity/connection/libido?

Has the emtional improvements been stable?

Thanks for your update!

[lakehouse]

never really had much sexual sides that I noticed
emotional improvements are stable

[Ukguy82]

I’ve started taking Prep one a day tablets, from today and will let you know if I notice any changes.

Thanks man are you pfs or PSSD?

[Xorack]

Where did you get it from ?

[Northern_Star]

Good luck!

[Ukguy82]

Thanks guys. I’ve got pfs. There’s a medical trial going on in England at the moment which means you can get it from the local sexual health clinic if you meet the criteria. It’s more available in Scotland and Wales.

Sorry to sound like a kook, but how can prep help us with PFS?
What mechanism?

[Lostinaustin]

I’m not quite sure, prep works by inhibiting viral reverse transcriptase but I’m not sure how this would fit into the dna methylation theory we talk about on here

Hi @irishguy754, Is this the Emtricitabine/Tenofovir combo? Please keep us updated regarding your symptoms progress. Is your case mostly sexual function? If you have other symptoms, if you could give a little explanation of what they are, their severity and how you feel prep has affected them that would be good too. Thanks for reporting. This is not the first time I’ve considered reverse-transcriptase inhibitor. This is in regards to the RTI drug Nevirapine, used for HIV treatment: "…the pre…

Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors

Going to try to keep this brief as possible and post some links to studies, along with plenty of speculation, regarding RTIs. As axolotl pointed out, the pertinent studies focus on cells where endogenous reverse transcriptase is highly expressed (cancerous and embryonic cells), and endogenous RTs shouldn’t be expressing at appreciable levels in healthy adult cells, meaning this RT inhibition is likely to be irrelevant to us. Also, 1 or 2 guys experiencing improvement during a certain treatment d…

These RTIs seem to have a poor record for treating this condition considering the number of people who have said they tried it vs the number of people who said it helped them.

I’m taking Prep for it’s actual intended purpose to prevent HIV, but keeping fingers crossed if there are any unexpected benefits in helping with pfs.

[lakehouse]

Good luck bro, hope it helps way more than I’s helping me. Even though I can’t complain too much

I believe that all the drugs are dosage and timing dependent, dosage = drug mg / kg of body weight, maybe this explain why work for some people and for others don’t work.

I’m just checking in to see how you’re all doing with prep. Any long term sustained improvements?

[Ukguy82]

I’ve been taking for 3 weeks. I had a slight upset stomach and some depression to begin with, but it’s now settled down. I don’t think it has had any affect good or bad on my symptoms at the moment.

[Mark2012]

Has anyone else had success with Prep ?

[Xorack]

Still no news? /:

[Mark2012]

Prep doesn’t seem to be a cure for PFS.
