I think OP is talking about the PrEP pill, which is a cool thing but hard to get.

Got to love the double stupid. So is this guy seriously just going to live with it and assume there is no treatment rather than you know finding out if there is a treatment?
Also what’s a birth control pill going to do?

HIV is not giving you painful urination a few days later.

I know duh, that doesn’t change the fact that OP was most probably not talking about contraception pills, which wouldn’t help neither in that scenario.

Depending on your country. It’s easy to get in Australia, there may be programs in your country to get it to you for a discount or free.
There are also things like doxy pep, antibiotics taken before and after exposure to bacterial infections which are only prescribed to people with, shall we say, high volume sex lives to offset the cost/benefit ratio of taking possibly uneccesary antibiotics

I would have been fine without me too. I was an accident, which is fine, as far as I’m aware it hasn’t really changed anything. But from religious trauma and all that, I actively wished I hadn’t of been born as a kid.
