There’s yet another reason to always use a condom so you avoid sexually transmitted infections as much as possible. The Telegraph reports that even a single course of antibiotics “can damage the healthy bacteria in the gut for at least a year and possibly permanently.” For a long time it has been known that antibiotics… Read More »
If you read the countless tweets and articles produced by the gay (ill)health sector you would be forgiven for thinking that HIV and STIs can be avoided, or driven down, by testing for them every 3 months or so. Syphilis and gonorrhea are at epidemic levels, last seen in the 1940s before antibiotics were discovered… Read More »
When was the last time you heard someone in the gay (ill)health sector explicitly advising HIV+ men that they should use condoms? Quite possibly never. Nearly all HIV+ gay men contracted the virus because they didn’t use a condom. And what is rarely mentioned is that, after their diagnosis, a large percentage of them seem… Read More »
Reading the news and Tweets from fanatical PrEPsters you might think that the NHS PrEP Impact Trial is a great success. That we’re well on the way to “ending HIV” as they like to claim. News reports and politicians tell us that “many” clinics are now full for gay men. Ten days ago NHS England… Read More »
17,000 men who have sex with men (MSM) are taking PrEP in San Francisco, that’s 37%, according to this video. And you can bet that hardly any of them are using condoms.

As we have been saying on our website for… Read More »
Some of the people who work in gay “health” and who are the loudest advocates for PrEP seem a little bit weird. Perhaps you’ve sensed that too? They’re keen that no one should be “judged” or “stigmatised” and one wonders whether that stems from reactions they’ve had over the years personally. Not just because some… Read More »
As part of the desperation to drive forward PrEP and the barebacking that goes along with it, condoms have sometimes been demonised in the most wicked and false way. In fact, if you insist on using a condom, and always do, you’re probably at the safest level gay condom users have been at for 35… Read More »
The endless bashing of the NHS by the gay media and gay journalists is disgusting and is something they may come to regret. The latest is a one-sided and contradictory article on Buzzfeed with the title “The NHS Refused To Give This Man The HIV Prevention Drug. He Got HIV” and it raises a number… Read More »
The PrEPsters specialise in telling half the story. But, increasingly, gay men see right through it. Let’s consider this Twitter exchange. Here at GMAP we believe that a small focused roll-out of PrEP is sufficient. It should be aimed at gay men who have a chaotic life. Men who are out of control and really… Read More »
