How to get prep depends on where you live. A sexual health clinic like planned Parenthood is a good option. In terms of viruses that can be sexually transmitted there's HPV, HIV, HSV, and Hepatitis. Condoms prevent HIV but are not full protection for the other viruses. HPV does have a vaccine for the cancer causing strains but I think roughly 80% of sexually active adults have had HPV. The statistic is higher for HSV.

Yeah, I understand that completely. However such a concept is not just originating now. When we revolved around newspapers more, a bad review by a trusted food columnist could have the same effect on a restaurant. I just resist the panic that things are so dramatically different with new forms of media. Same stuff, new mediums.

We are building a house and are focusing on energy efficiency. It’s all metal and the inside of the roof and siding is sealed with closed cell spray foam, with open cell foam going on top of that. A heat pump and dehumidifier just made sense. I’m hoping we’ve done everything right and should have a reasonable electric bill when all is said and done, we’re avoiding gas completely.
