What is TRUVADA for PrEP ?<br />
TRUVADA for PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a<br />
prescription medicine that is used together with safer<br />
sex practices to help reduce the risk of getting HIV-1<br />
through sex. This use is only for HIV-negative adults who<br />
are at high risk of getting HIV-1. To help determine your<br />
risk of getting HIV-1, talk openly with your healthcare<br />
provider about your sexual health.<br />
Ask your healthcare provider if you have questions about<br />
how to prevent getting HIV. Always practice safer sex<br />
and use condoms to lower the chance of sexual contact<br />
with body fluids. Never reuse or share needles or other<br />
items that have body fluids on them.<br />
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION<br />
I What is the most important information I should<br />
know about TRUVADA for PrEP?<br />
Before taking TRUVADA for PrEP:<br />
u You must be HIV-negative before you start<br />
taking TRUVADA for PrEP. You must get tested to<br />
make sure that you do not already have HIV-1. Do<br />
not take TRUVADA to reduce the risk of getting<br />
HIV-1 unless you are confirmed to be HIV-negative.<br />
u Many HIV-1 tests can miss HIV-1 infection in a<br />
person who has recently become infected. If you<br />
have flu-like symptoms, you could have recently<br />
become infected with HIV-1. Tell your healthcare<br />
provider if you had a flu-like illness within the last<br />
month before starting or at any time while taking<br />
TRUVADA for PrEP. Symptoms of new HIV-1<br />
infection include tiredness, fever, joint or muscle<br />
aches, headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea,<br />
rash, night sweats, and/or enlarged lymph nodes in<br />
the neck or groin.<br />
While taking TRUVADA for PrEP:<br />
u You must continue to use safer sex practices.<br />
Just taking TRUVADA for PrEP may not keep<br />
you from getting HIV-1.<br />
u You must stay HIV-negative to keep taking<br />
TRUVADA for PrEP:<br />
• <strong>Get</strong> tested for HIV-1 at least every 3 months.<br />
• If you think you were exposed to HIV-1, tell your<br />
healthcare provider right away.<br />
u To further help reduce your risk of getting HIV-1:<br />
• Know your HIV status and the HIV status<br />
of your partners.<br />
• <strong>Get</strong> tested for other sexually transmitted<br />
infections. Other infections make it easier for<br />
HIV to infect you.<br />
• <strong>Get</strong> information and support to help reduce<br />
risky sexual behavior, such as having fewer sex<br />
partners.<br />
• Do not miss any doses of TRUVADA. Missing<br />
doses may increase your risk of getting HIV-1<br />
infection.<br />
u If you do become HIV-1 positive, you need more<br />
medicine than TRUVADA alone to treat HIV-1.<br />
TRUVADA by itself is not a complete treatment for<br />
HIV-1. If you have HIV-1 and take only TRUVADA,<br />
your HIV-1 may become harder to treat over time.<br />
TRUVADA can cause serious side effects:<br />
u Worsening of hepatitis B (HBV) infection.<br />
TRUVADA is not approved to treat HBV. If you<br />
have HBV and stop taking TRUVADA, your HBV<br />
may suddenly get worse. Do not stop taking<br />
TRUVADA without first talking to your healthcare<br />
provider, as they will need to monitor your health.<br />
I Who should not take TRUVADA for PrEP?<br />
Do not take TRUVADA for PrEP if you:<br />
u Already have HIV-1 infection or if you do<br />
not know your HIV-1 status. If you are HIV-1<br />
positive, you need to take other medicines with<br />
TRUVADA to treat HIV-1. TRUVADA by itself is<br />
not a complete treatment for HIV-1. If you have<br />
HIV-1 and take only TRUVADA, your HIV-1 may<br />
become harder to treat over time.<br />
u Also take certain medicines to treat hepatitis B<br />
infection.<br />
I What are the other possible side effects of<br />
TRUVADA for PrEP?<br />
Serious side effects of TRUVADA may also<br />
include:<br />
u Kidney problems, including kidney failure.<br />
Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to<br />
check your kidneys before and during treatment<br />
with TRUVADA. If you develop kidney problems,<br />
your healthcare provider may tell you to stop<br />
taking TRUVADA.<br />
u Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic<br />
acidosis), which is a serious but rare medical<br />
emergency that can lead to death. Tell your<br />
healthcare provider right away if you get these<br />
symptoms: weakness or being more tired<br />
than usual, unusual muscle pain, being short<br />
of breath or fast breathing, stomach pain<br />
with nausea and vomiting, cold or blue hands<br />
and feet, feel dizzy or lightheaded, or a fast or<br />
abnormal heartbeat.<br />
Please see Important Facts about TRUVADA for PrEP including important warnings<br />
on the following pages.

TRUVADA for PrEP?<br />
The once-daily prescription medicine that can help reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 when<br />
used with safer sex practices.<br />
• TRUVADA for PrEP is only for adults who are at high risk of getting HIV through sex.<br />
• Yo u must be HIV-negative before you start taking TRUVADA for PrEP.<br />
Ask your doctor about your risk of getting HIV-1 infection and if TRUVADA for PrEP<br />
may be right for you.<br />
u Severe liver problems, which in rare cases<br />
can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider<br />
right away if you get these symptoms: skin or<br />
the white part of your eyes turns yellow, dark<br />
“tea-colored” urine, light-colored stools, loss of<br />
appetite for several days or longer, nausea, or<br />
stomach-area pain.<br />
u Bone problems, including bone pain, softening,<br />
or thinning, which may lead to fractures. Your<br />
healthcare provider may do tests to check<br />
your bones.<br />

PrEP are stomach-area (abdomen) pain, headache,<br />
and decreased weight. Tell your healthcare provider<br />
if you have any side effects that bother you or do not<br />
go away.<br />
I What should I tell my healthcare provider before<br />
taking TRUVADA for PrEP?<br />
u All your health problems. Be sure to tell your<br />
healthcare provider if you have or have had any<br />
kidney, bone, or liver problems, including hepatitis.<br />
u If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.<br />
It is not known if TRUVADA can harm your<br />
unborn baby. If you become pregnant while<br />
taking TRUVADA for PrEP, talk to your healthcare<br />
provider to decide if you should keep taking<br />
TRUVADA.<br />
u If you are breastfeeding (nursing) or plan to<br />
breastfeed. Do not breastfeed. If you become<br />
HIV-positive, HIV can be passed to the baby in<br />
breast milk.<br />
u All the medicines you take, including<br />
prescription and over-the-counter medicines,<br />
vitamins, and herbal supplements. TRUVADA<br />
may interact with other medicines. Keep a list of<br />
all your medicines and show it to your healthcare<br />
provider and pharmacist when you get a new<br />
medicine.<br />
u If you take certain other medicines with<br />
TRUVADA, your healthcare provider may need<br />
to check you more often or change your dose.<br />
These medicines include certain medicines to<br />
treat hepatitis C (HCV) infection.<br />

CELEBRITY CORRESPONDENT<br />
Where are you from originally, and what<br />
prompted you to move to New York?<br />
I’m actually originally from Brooklyn, but I<br />
left when I was young and grew up mostly in<br />
Atlanta. In 2013 I moved to London, and it<br />
reminded<br />
me of how<br />
much of<br />
a big city<br />
boy I am at<br />
heart. After<br />
leaving<br />
London,<br />
I knew it<br />
was time to<br />
experience<br />
NYC as an<br />
adult. I’ve<br />
been back<br />
for three<br />
years now.<br />
Dash<br />
totally cheat, do half of what I’m supposed<br />
to do and leave the gym early.<br />
If you could change one thing about<br />
yourself, what would it be?<br />
Hmmm. I’m a top who wants to be vers by<br />
the end of the summer. Does that count?<br />
How do you want to be remembered?<br />
As the guy who always did the choreography<br />
to “Slave For You” every single time it came<br />
on.<br />
What do you feel is your biggest<br />
accomplishment in life thus far?<br />
Finding an affordable and spacious place to<br />
live in this city with some fucking privacy. Let<br />
the church say AMEN!<br />
Aside from<br />
being in<br />
sexy pictures, what are you into? How do<br />
you involve yourself in New York’s gay<br />
nightlife?<br />
I’ve been a hair colorist for 10 years. That’s<br />
my passion and what I’ll probably retire<br />
doing. But I like to have multiple streams of<br />
income, so I also go-go and host parties. I’m<br />
launching a new party on <strong>July</strong> 28 at Putnam’s<br />
in Clinton Hill. It’s a ‘90s hip-hop and R&B<br />
party called Double Dutch, and I’m really<br />
excited!<br />
What advice would you give someone<br />
who wants to become as fit as you are?<br />
1.) Paleo. 2.) I use an app called Bodyspace<br />
that lets me pick a workout plan and then<br />
tells me exactly what to do every day. It tells<br />
me the exercises, amount of sets, amount<br />
of reps and records all of the weight that I<br />
used, so I’m not guessing the next time. It<br />
basically provides accountability for me to<br />
do a complete workout. Otherwise I would<br />

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE<br />
MY COUCH<br />
BY IAN-MICHAEL BERGERON<br />
@ianmichaelinwonderland<br />
The other night I went out for<br />
drinks with a couple of friends.<br />
“No, I really mean it. You’re<br />
so, like, free, you know?”<br />
“Agreed,” another one of my<br />
friends said, “that’s a read.”<br />
“He just said ‘Hey, it looks like<br />
you didn’t try when you got<br />
out of bed today, and I want<br />
you to know I noticed.’”<br />
We ended up at Boxers<br />
Chelsea—my idea, because<br />
of their two-for-one happy<br />
hour. We got our first round<br />
of drinks (margarita, naturally)<br />
and decided to stand outside:<br />
It was a little humid out, but<br />
much quieter and easier to<br />
talk.<br />
About half a drink in, a guy<br />
came outside, business-like<br />
in a pale pink shirt tucked<br />
into navy dress pants, with a<br />
gaudy gold chain around his<br />
neck. He was cute, the kind<br />
of guy that’ll break it down at<br />
the club but play it straight<br />
during the day with his finance<br />
buddies.<br />
He came up to us, cigarette<br />
in hand, and I thought he<br />
was going to ask for a light.<br />
(Which I don’t have: I haven’t<br />
smoked since 2008. Regularly,<br />
anyway.) Instead, eyes locked<br />
on me, he made his way into<br />
our circle and lit the cigarette<br />
himself.<br />
“I was watching you through<br />
the glass,” he said, motioning<br />
inside. He sounded a little<br />
drunk, but not bad-day-atthe-office<br />
drunk. “You’re<br />
extremely cute.” He said this<br />
right in front of everyone,<br />
unashamedly. Everyone<br />
looked to me to see how I’d<br />
respond.<br />
Not being one for gold<br />
chains, and also just not being<br />
on the prowl, I showed him a<br />
small smile. “Thank you.”<br />
“Free?”<br />
“Yeah. You’ve got this whole<br />
comfy Dorothy thing going<br />
on.”<br />
I looked down at my outfit: a<br />
navy silk top from All Saints,<br />
a flowy pair of linen pants by<br />
Ralph Lauren and my ruby<br />
red leather Persian slippers.<br />
Casual, maybe... but comfy?!<br />
“That’s my aesthetic,” I<br />
nodded, then looked away.<br />
He made his way into a corner,<br />
finished his cigarette, and we<br />
watched him go inside to get<br />
his bag and say goodbye to<br />
his friends by he pool table.<br />
“He was so into you,” one<br />
of my friends said, sucking<br />
air through the straw at the<br />
bottom of his drink.<br />
“He said I looked comfy,”<br />
I spat. “That’s not a<br />
compliment.”<br />

“I don’t think so,” my first<br />
friend shook his head. “Is<br />
comfy really that offensive?”<br />
“Yes. I want someone to say,<br />
‘Look at him, that looks so<br />
expensive, I bet he didn’t pay<br />
his rent so he could buy that.’”<br />
Which, let’s be honest, is true.<br />
“Instead you’re out here<br />
looking like comfy Dorothy.”<br />
We finished our first round<br />
and cashed in our two-for-one<br />
cards, and I tried to move<br />
the conversation along—but<br />
the nickname stuck. “Comfy<br />
Dorothy” was on everyone’s<br />
tongue—figuratively speaking,<br />
of course.<br />
After our second round, I<br />
clicked the heels my Persian<br />
slippers together three times<br />
and went home, vowing to<br />
never wear linen pants to a<br />
gay bar again.
