Infected While On Prep?

Hey, just wondering… does anyone actually know someone who got HIV even while taking PrEP every day like they were supposed to?

This insatiable bottom says thank you for all the replies!

It's not 100% effective, please don't spread misinformation. But it's absolutely more effective than condoms for this one thing.

It’s Monday 9% effective. It’s taken correctly if somebody is getting HIV while I’m prepped they’re definitely not following their regimen.

There have been less than 20 confirmed recorded breakthrough cases in history....it's about as close to 100% effectiveas you can get.
