Here is what November 2022 has instal for you. As the holiday season approaches, being flexible and easygoing will help us all enjoy getting back out in the world after several Christmases stuck indoors.

Dear Rose, I’m a 24-year-old guy, and I decided some time ago that PrEP was not for me. Unfortunately, I currently find myself experiencing a lot of peer pressure and knockbacks online from other guys who don’t want to use condoms. I’m not sure what to do as it seems I’m missing a lot of opportunities. JT
