@soatok@furry.engineer Apparently you can't donate if you're on PrEP, either. It makes testing the samples difficult because it can mask HIV. It's unfortunate, but I understand it. Source:

@theorangetheme@en.osm.town I'm on PrEP. I'm tested for HIV quarterly (which is required, along with a non-reactive test result, to continue receiving PrEP).
