Dan – Part 1: The Chat – Risk Review
Dan agreed to “party,” or combine sex with drugs, with his hookup. He also drank alcohol before leaving for his hookup. Why might this not have been a good idea? Also, Dan did not talk about HIV status or condoms. Why not?
Dan is committed to playing safe. Great! But, even if Dan intends to use condoms, drugs and alcohol will affect his judgement. Research shows that people who are drunk or high are less likely to use condoms correctly or even use them at all, especially if they don’t make it clear to their partners while they are sober.
If Dan were on PrEP, he would have less to worry about in terms of HIV when he is partying.
Let’s see what happens next!
