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?

The pill prevents both people from ruining their lives

The pill prevents 2 people from ruining a brand new life.

As a ruined brand-new life almost a half century ago, I endorse this message. I promise ya'll would have been FINE without me.

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.

Sorry to hear that, I know the feeling and it sucks. It's better after growing up and starting your own life and making your own way, and I hope you're proceeding in that direction.

My parents reminded me every "anniversary" of when they changed their mind in the clinic and decided not to end my mother's pregnancy. I heard that story from my earliest days and never understood why they told me that over and over at the time. I get it now, and I feel more pity for my late parents than myself anymore. Some people are completely incapable of being adult enough to bring a new life into the world with actual responsibility and care, whatever the circumstances were for that life coming into being.

Thanks for the response and kind words.

That last part is pretty much why I don't have kids. Well, and just remembering what it was like for me growing up. I like to think if I didnhave kids they'd be better off than myself, since I wouldn't force any nonsense down their throat, including but not limited to, worthless without y and threats of eternal suffering.

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do you feel like OP knows that?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I live in the same era than you, I don't feel anything bro.

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
