I'm not gay neither am I at risk of catching HIV.

But somebody I know who is gay who has the same autoimmune disease I have said that taking Prep has done more to help his autoimmune condition than anything he has taking in the last 10 years.

He has no idea why or how the drug is working to help his condition but the fact is that it is working when nothing he has tried in the past 10 years has helped.

Thats why I would like to try this drug and see if it helps my condition.

But I'm wondering can I just ask a Doctor to prescribe it for my autoimmune disease or would I have to pretend to be gay in order to get the drug ?

Sorry just can't allow that type of query
Lying to get a prescription or treatment is an absolute no
