I’m going to pick up and finally finish my extremely drawn out blog series on safe sex and STIs. Last spring I finally finished a run down of various STIs and their symptoms, causes, treatments, etc. Now I want to go back to that series and talk a bit about options when you or someone in your polycule has an STI, communicating about safe sex with your partners and a few other things.
But before I get too deep into that, I’d love for you to tell me if there is anything you really want to know about STIs and safe sex in polyamorous relationships. I can’t promise to have an answer, but I’ll damn well try. Leave a comment below, or contact me privately!

Any comments on adding Truvada as a prophylactic and harm-reduction tool? I’m just considering it for the first time.
Most of what I know about Truvada is from reviewing the research before it was approved by the FDA. I’m going to need to do some research to make sure my info is up-to-date. Check back for a blog post on Truvada in a couple of weeks.
