Eric:

Up until probably six weeks ago when we talked about it, it was condoms with anal sex with other people … As the PrEP study data came out, it became obvious that PrEP was very effective, and we’re both very adherent, so Miles asked me, ‘What do you think about non-condom use with other people?’ We discussed it and said, basically, if we feel okay with it, it’s okay, and we can deal with the other consequences. We’ve always had ‘no blame’ on any STDs, so if we’re diagnosed, we don’t blame. Now, granted, I’ve adjusted my [HIV/STI] testing schedule [and] he thinks it’s funny and cute sometimes, you know, when that Chlamydia test comes in positive and I’m like beating myself up with, you know, good old-fashioned, slut-shaming, Catholic guilt. And he teases me! But I make sure I get tested –

Miles:

That’s right, yes, you always came back positive before I even got tested –
