Hey,

I was wondering, if you're a healthy young female with multiple male partners, can you replace condoms with a regimen of pills?

My friend suggested a combo of: estrogen, progesterone, AZT, 3TC, indinavir. ciprofolxacin, acyclovir and folic acid. Is there anything missing here? What are good starting dosages (I weigh 50 kilos)?

Thank loads!!

Without condoms you can (will?) still get:

HIV/AIDS
Herpes
HPV and maybe cervical cancer

You'd have to lie to get the antibiotics, so you also can (will?) get:

chlamydia
gonorrhea
trichomonas
pelvic inflammatory disease
sterilized
etc etc etc


With condoms you can still get:

Herpes
HPV

Why not just stick with condoms?
