In this episode of Talking HIV, we talk to Greg Owen, co-founder of iwantPrEPnow.co.uk and Phil Samba, writer, social activist and PrEP user, about gay men’s attitudes to condoms and why they think, with all the new ways to prevent HIV,  it’s time to change the way we talk about condoms.

They describe feeling that gay men should have ‘greater freedom and agency’ to have conversations about sexual health choices, without fear of judgement. As Phil says there are ‘alternatives to using condoms’, and he thinks ‘…we should explore or a least learn about… before we make an opinioned choice’.

Listen to their full conversation in the video below.

What do you think about the way we talk about condoms? Is it time for a change?
