PrEP ≠ protection against every STI. Here’s what you should know. 👇

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is highly effective at preventing HIV when taken correctly. It does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia, or syphilis.

You may have also heard about Doxy-PEP (Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis).

Unlike PrEP, Doxy-PEP is taken after sex—ideally within 72 hours—and has been shown to reduce the risk of syphilis and chlamydia, and to a lesser extent gonorrhoea, in some people.

However, Doxy-PEP is not recommended for everyone. Because it involves antibiotics, it should only be used after discussing it with a healthcare provider, who can help you decide if it’s appropriate and explain the benefits and potential risks, including antibiotic resistance.

The best sexual health strategy is the one that’s right for you:
• PrEP → Helps prevent HIV
• Doxy-PEP → May reduce the risk of some bacterial STIs for eligible individuals
• Regular STI testing → Helps with early diagnosis and treatment
• Condoms → Continue to protect against HIV and many other STIs

The more you know, the better you can protect yourself ♥️

TVS Moto Diaries – South Chapter 2026 was honestly one hell of an experience for me.

I’ve never really been a rider, but this event brought me so close to the riding community. A community of people who share common interests, are passionate about bikes, love adventure, and are always looking forward to trying something new.

And what really stood out to me was the brotherhood. How everyone came together, competed together, helped each other, and celebrated together. Being around this community and seeing the passion people have for their bikes honestly made me more interested in motorcycles as well.

From the adventure activities and challenges to meeting so many amazing people, the entire experience was unforgettable. If you’re someone who loves trying new adventures, new activities, and meeting people who are passionate about the things they love, this is definitely something you should experience.

I appreciate TVS for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to experience this. The passion people have for TVS motorcycles was so evident throughout the event.

I got to experience the TVS Apache RTX, and as someone who isn’t a regular rider, I was honestly surprised by how comfortable it felt. Despite being a big motorcycle, it felt surprisingly easy and comfortable to ride.

If I could enjoy the experience this much as a non-rider, I can only imagine how much more someone who is passionate about motorcycles would enjoy the adrenaline and the community.

Thank you, TVS, for bringing me this experience. Looking forward to more such experiences in life. ❤️
