Also Teak, not to challenge your advice. Wouldn't there be at least some risk involved? Since I have an open wound and it might come in contact with her vaginal fluid?
I'm trying to decide if I should go on taking this med Tenvir Em... My lower back aches like mad and I have a splitting head ache all the time - plus eyebags. :(
Hi Teak,
Thank you for the advice.
I was rather worried because the it was an open wound and it might have come in contact with vaginal fluid..
Thing is, this Tenvir Em the doc prescribed me as PEP is causing me back ache, nausea and I simply feel down.
I'm just wondering how detrimental is this drug to my body?
At the moment I'm taking it for
1) Prevention in case I have the virus
2) Punishment so I know how bad it feels to be on the drug to stop seeing prostitutes
