L**e isn’t just about pleasure—it’s about protection too! 🌈✨
For Us, l**e makes s*x smoother, reduces pain, and helps condoms stay safe.
Choose water- or silicone-based l**es for maximum fun + safety.
Let’s normalize l**e—it’s self-care AND safe s*x.

Whether you test HIV positive or HIV negative, you can take action to protect your health and prevent HIV transmission, whatever your Status as Ishtar Wellness we are here to support you.
Gay and bis*xual men can take the following steps to reduce their risk of HIV infection:
Choose less risky s*xual behaviors.
Receptive a**l s*x is the riskiest type of s*x for getting HIV. Insertive a**l s*x (topping) is less risky for getting HIV than receptive a**l s*x (bottoming). In general, there is little to no risk of getting or transmitting HIV from oral s*x.
Limit your number of s*x partners.
The more partners you have, the more likely you are to have a partner with poorly controlled HIV or to have a partner with a s*xually transmitted Infection (STI). Both factors can increase the risk of HIV transmission.
Use condoms correctly every time you have s*x.
(see our previous post on proper and consistent condom use)
Consider pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is when people who do not have HIV but who are at risk of getting HIV take HIV medicine to reduce their chances of HIV infection. PrEP can be combined with other prevention methods, such as condoms, to reduce the risk of HIV even further. To learn more on your eligibility to PrEP visit the Ishtar Wellness to have a conversation with the clinician.
Consider post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is the use of HIV medicines soon after a possible exposure to HIV to prevent becoming infected with HIV. For example, a person who is HIV negative may use PEP after having s*x without a condom with a person who is HIV positive. To be effective, PEP must be started within 72 hours after the possible exposure to HIV and prescribed for 28days.
Get tested for HIV.
Whether you test HIV positive or HIV negative, you can take action to protect your health and prevent HIV transmission, its recommended to get a Hiv test after every 3 months.

How Do I Use Condoms?
If you are s*xually active, keep a few condoms with you so you'll always have one when you need it. Put on a new condom every single time you have s*x. Use a condom when you have vaginal, oral, or a**l s*x. Put on a different condom for each type of s*x you have.
Keep the condom on the whole time you're having s*x. Don't take it off at any point. If it breaks, stop and replace it right away.
To use male condoms:
1.Make sure the condom is in good condition and not torn or expired (check the date on the package).
2.Carefully open the wrapper and take out the condom.
3.Place it on the tip of your fully erect p***s. The rolled side should be facing out. If you’re uncircumcised, pull back the fo****in first.
4.Leave a half-inch of space at the tip where the semen can collect when you ej*****te. This helps prevent the condom from breaking. Some condoms have reservoir tips that leave the space for you.
5.Pinch the air out of the tip of the condom.
6.Unroll it all the way down your p***s.
7.Use enough lubrication so the condom doesn't break. You can use a water-based lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly or Astroglide. Don't use an oil-based lubricant such as Vaseline, body lotion, baby oil, or massage oil because it can weaken the latex and cause the condom to break.
8.When s*x is finished, but before your p***s gets soft, grab the rim of the condom to hold it in place while you pull out. Gently pull out from your partner. Slide the condom off your p***s, making sure you don't spill any semen.
9.Wrap the condom in a tissue and throw it away in a place where other people won't touch it. (mostly in a pit latrine)
Ishtar provides Condoms and Lubricants, pick them from the Ishtar Wellness Center or Request for condoms and Lubricants to be delivered to you.

From all of Us at Ishtar have a Safe Weekend.

Substance Use

Studies have shown that, when compared with the general population, gay and bis*xual men and transgender individuals are more likely to:

-Use alcohol and drugs,
-Have higher rates of substance abuse,
-Not withhold from alcohol and drug use, and
-Continue heavy drinking into later life.

Alcohol and drug use among some gay and bis*xual men can be a reaction to homophobia, discrimination, or violence they experienced due to their s*xual orientation and can contribute to other mental health and physical problems. It can disrupt relationships, employment, and threaten financial stability.

For some gay and bis*xual men, alcohol and illegal drug use, especially Marijuana(Weed), poppers, and drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction (when a man has a hard time keeping an er****on during s*x), also contribute to a higher chance of getting HIV and other STDs. Persons using drugs or alcohol may also raise their chances of getting HIV or giving it to others by getting involved in more risky s*xual practices and behaviors or through sharing needles or other injection equipment.

Visit us to have a friendly and confidential conversation on Your Alcohol & Substance Use.
