#AskTheHIVDoc Episode 10: Sharing Meds?
Ever wondered about the specific logistics of sharing HIV meds? Well, in the latest episode of #AskTheHIVDoc, Dr. Demetre breaks down the notion that HIV-negative people can take their poz friends medications to help protect themselves from contracting the virus.
“That’s a really bad idea,” he says. “Someone needs to look after you if you’re on HIV medicines to prevent HIV.”
Watch Dr. Demetre’s entire explanation in the newest installment of #AskTheHIVDoc below.
#AskTheHIVDoc is a YouTube series created by the Greater Than AIDS organization to help gay men learn more about HIV and sexual health through honest, fun, and no-nonsense discussions. For more information, visit greaterthan.org/speakout.
